[3NF]

What do you think?

 

[Skeeedunt]

Nope that was it!!

 

[ultimatebob]

Yep!

Man... Those early adopters like Spidey07 are gonna be pissed when they see 42" 1080p LCD's on sale for $900 this Christmas

 

[spidey07]

Sometimes even faster. A TV bought today will be much cheaper come end of year, by then the new models are out.

It's a huge game of leapfrog in terms of quality and value.

Reply hazy, try again.

I was thinking of the OLEVIA 537H 37" HIGH-DEFINITION LCD 1080i HDTV 8ms for $720 or this HP Pavilion dv9207us Notebook for $799.99.

Such a hard decision because I want both but I can only have one... what would you choose?

If the search didn't suck so badly, you could find dozens of threads where spidey says "The year is 2007" in reference to various things.

Was in Costco load weekend. Saw some guy load up 6 of them into his truck.

That's like media room goodness right there.

Oh ok i will edit it as soon as possible any idea of what 2008 will be just in case?

Yes, not as dramatic as it has been in the last few months, but yes. Increasing TV's with 1080p will force competition. Manufacturing is becoming cheaper. 1080i will also benefit from 1080p's getting more popular. And other display technologies on the horizon will always push whatever is current off the pedestal.

Wasn't 2006 the year of HD before that? How about 2005?

Damn that's cheap!!! I got the Olevia 332H 32" HDTV for $575 shipped back in November and I thought that was a killer deal.

2005 was the year of PC gaming, or sattilite, or illegal downloading.

meh, it's an incredible revolution. I've NEVER seen this much advancement in display technology in just the last 3 years. It's a great time to be a video nut.

Just look at the adoption rate, it's rivaling the almighty DVD.

The past 2 or 3 years have been noted as "the year of HD", as will next year. HDTVs will continue to decrease in price, no doubt, but at what pace is the question. I'm looking forward to when 40+ inch HDTV's become commonplace at $500 or less.
