The decision has made to take the plunge into the world of High Definition Television or HDTV but where do you begin? The continuous advancement in technology on a seemingly daily basis can make your next television purchase a daunting task. In order to help you muddle your way through the technology jargon here are some buying tips to help guide you through the world of HDTV.
The prices between LCD and Plasma televisions has begun to level out, so now consumer can now make the decision based on the product quality rather than cost. There are several benefits to purchasing a plasma television, like a wider viewing angle for your audience, improved color reproduction and a brighter image. A LCD television is an improvement over a plasma television when it comes to longer life span, increased sharpness of native resolution resulting in a more life like picture, along with being lightweight compared to the heavier plasma television. Also with an LCD, there is no chance of experiencing the burn-in effect on the television screen. Make the decision for your new HDTV based on your personal preferences and you will be satisfied.

November retail sales figures are coming in for the discount chains, and according to a report by TWICE, the news is a bit grim. WalMart posted a 6.5 percent gain over last year, with consumer electronics, clothing, and home goods doing well.
So much for the good news. Costco was down 3 percent, and sales were down 6.1 percent at Target. The report also cites data from MasterCard for the first two weeks of November, in which consumer electronics and major appliances were down 22.1 percent over last year, following a 19.9 percent drop in October.
Now, these statistics are based on total dollars, which changes the picture a little. With prices for some electronics falling 10 to 20 percent this year, the same level of unit sales will produce a smaller total revenue. We’ve also seen evidence of buyers scaling down their expectations, and choosing to purchase smaller TV sets than in prior years.
But I think that the fact that WalMart posted the gains is a telling detail. People are looking to stretch their dollars as far as possible, and that means leaving the specialty stores behind. WalMart provides one-stop-shopping for deeply-discounted products in just about all categories, including top brand flat panel HDTVs. Everyone has been tightening their belts – including the retailers — which means that the bargains are going to stick around for a while.

It has been widely reported that Fox announced plans to broadcast the college football BCS championship game in 3D at select movie theaters in Boston, New York, and Los Angeles. The plans were announced this week by Fox Sports CEO David Hill at the 3-D Entertainment Summit.
Perhaps more important were the comments made by Hill along with the announcement. He complained about how the networks had to bear the cost of converting to HD, for which they did not receive “a penny more” from the advertisers or television manufacturers. He said that he does not intend to let the rest of the industry take a free ride on the adoption of 3D, and that they’ll have to share in the costs if it is going to happen.
Forgive me, but it seems to me that Hill just doesn’t get it. I wasn’t involved then, but did the TV manufacturers help pay the networks to add support for color, or for stereo sound? I expect not. If Hill hasn’t noticed, many of the TV manufacturers are selling their products at or below cost. Just where does he think that the money will come from for them to chip in on the adoption of 3D technology. And both Panasonic and Samsung have been selling 3D-capable rear projection sets for years; sales have hardly set any records at this point, so I don’t see a pot of gold sitting there to share with Fox.
And what if the advertisers aren’t paying a penny more for HD content? Whose fault is that? It’s not the advertisers, that’s for sure. They pay what they have to in order to reach their target market. If HD is doing a better job than standard definition programming at delivering the desired audience, it will be worth more to the advertisers. I expect that the problem is that the video entertainment market is getting much more diluted, so there are fewer advertiser dollars available per show on average. Is this hard on the networks and content producers? Sure. But unless the new technology is going to help those other groups make more money, don’t expect them to help pay for it.
Networks are struggling to maintain their audiences, and they will have to do more to attract and retain viewers. 3D broadcasts may be part of that mix. But the cold truth is that if 3D is what it takes to remain competitive, the networks may have to figure out a different business model that will help them pay for it.
