The New York Times > Technology > Signs of a Glut and Lower Prices on Thin TV's
The article predicts a 30% price drop on LCD flat panels by this time next year. Best to wait, but that "gotta have", "want it now" feeling is tough to control.

Considering getting a CRT based widescreen HDTV first in the 30 to 34" range for the bedroom - these are around $900 or $1200 or so now. Then maybe next year get the 42" LCD referred to in this quote from the article:

Ross Young, president of DisplaySearch, predicts that there will be a 53 percent increase in capacity during 2005, and he says that will put a lot of pressure on pricing. A 42-inch L.C.D. set that costs close to $4,500 today will be $3,100 next year, and $2,250 in 2006, he says.

What do you think? Are you waiting or crossing it off this year's list?
