  which means IMO, wait and see what's new in the '09 models. Then decide whether to bottom-troll now, or wait another year.
  
  2009 might be interesting what with the 02/2009 broadcast conversion possibly causing a sales boom. That however, might be offset by the economic slump. Hmmm...
  
  IMO, LCDs and Plasmas in 2 or 3 years from now might be reaching their technological plateau. *If this market is anything like autos, those models are already in the Alpha/Beta design stage. Then, maybe, we'll see the OLED vs. the other 2 battle commence.
  
  I wouldn't mind seeing right now what the 2011 TVs will offer...

  Thanks guys
  
  Totally going to wait for all the new models to come out. Just can't justify the premium for the Sony - going to wait to see the new Samsungs and the new JVC hi-end model.
  
  thanks again!

        The 67" display was a DLP set (which has a flat screen), but it was not a flat panel.

          ... I have two flat-screen CRT TVs for my kids.
          
          
          I thought, rightly or wrongly, Ken was enquiring about a flat panel and not a type of projection TV.
          
          Just my colonial sense of humour with Dewy mentioning he saw a 67” display which I thought was obviously not a flat panel.
          
          How is your survey going?

        you're in another country but most electronics stores in the US sell only flat screens these days. I haven't seen a CRT tube set, except for on the sidewalk on bulk rubbish pick up days. In fact both Sony and Panasonic and Sharp announced about two years ago that CRT sets would no longer be imported into the US.
        
        Admittedly there are a few rear projection LCD/DLP sets still out there, but the true flat screens are pretty much the only sets out there, especially as prices keep dropping.

          ....I asked because I am not aware of Samsung making a 67 inch flat panel. Maybe they do?

            Maybe they don't. ;-)
            
            Samsung do make a 67" DLP RPTV. It isn't very flat.
