It is not that great news. HDTV are still VERY expensive!!! A 32 inch Sony cost over $1,500!!!
Follow Ups:
$1500 divided by 365 (the number of days you watch TV) = $4.11/dayyou can't afford $4.11/day for the thing you do mostly with your free time? the thing that tells you who you are and what you need?
think about it...
hey, I like to shoot dope. (I support the Taliban by using heroin daily)
i wish i could do that for $4.11 / day !
you vote with your $, even if you don't know it.
oh, wait...say your new Sony TV lasts 10 years:
that's $0.411/day
you can't afford 41 cents per day?
...i bet you carry a balance on your credit card month to month
you can't afford that either.

It's one thing to hear the average joe blo who doesn't care about quality to whine about such prices, but to hear it from a "supposed" audio video enthusiast is sickening. $1500 is NOT a lot for an HDTV!!! When HTDV was first rolled out $3000 was the magic number, now we have it at $1500 and there is still cry babies! No wonder the average consumer hasn't bought an HDTV yet! If an "enthusiast" won't buy one how the hell do you expect the mass to buy one?
Before anyone asks, I WILL be buying an HDTV within the next four months (Sony VPL-VH11HT), so I will be supporting the HDTV movement! hooray! LOL. You vote with your wallet, and I want my HDTV! (now if Dire Straits could do a remake with Sting singing “I want my HDTV” with a big ad campaign saying the same, that would be excellent!)
I'm not about to spend $1500 on a TV either.
Heck, that's almost a month's worth of Guinness Extra Stout.
In heaven, there is no bier
That's why we drink it here
And when we leave from here
Our Friends will be drinking all the bier
