Is This The Time To Buy A New TV?...


I recently read an article that sometime shortly after the new year, TV manufacturers will be introducing a whole line of new 1080 HD televisions. It seems like every time there's a significant influx of new technology, prices on older technology (in this case tube TV's) go down measureably.

If this assumption is true, now doesn't seem to be a good time to buy a new TV - correct?

I want to buy a larger TV 36", but don't want to spend a lot of money because I know that in a year or two when HD programming becomes more widespread and TV prices come down I'll make a significant investment in upgrading my HT system.

Now might be the time to buy CRT, if that is what you want. It seems like it is a mature technology, capable of provinding state of the art picture. My understanding is that the manufacturers aren't putting a whole lot of investment into CRT any more. OTOH, I have read that there are enw plasma panel panel manufacturing technologies in the works that will make Plasma tvs incredibly cheap in the next few years, so I'm holding off. Suposedly a nanotech soup that when poured on a sheet of glass, assembles itself into a plasma screen. Far out stuff, but I'm waiting.
