By the fall of 2008, you can expect to be able to buy a 52 inch LCD TV set at the Dec 2007 price of 40-inch LCD TV, based on industry trends and price projections.
According to the market researcher DisplaySearch, the price of 52-inch LCD TVs will fall to $2,300 by the third quarter of 2008.
One reason for the price drop is TV makers have targetted 52-inch LCD TVs as the major item for the flat-panel TV market for the next year and they are all competing to get their share of the market.
In 2007 Samsung sold approx. 790,000 52-inch LCD TVs, but expects the sales to grow to 1.95 million units next year aided by new products based on 120Hz technology and equipped with LED backlights.
The most interesting capability of the TV though is definitely the LED backlighting, which uses an array of LED backlights, which are all individually controllable.
The advantages of this approach are much deeper black levels and a jaw-dropping contrast ratio of 500,000:1.
With HDef DVDs, dark scenes like the opening shots of Ocean's Thirteen on Blu-ray look spectacular and dynamic because:
1. The range between the screen's peak whites and deepest blacks is huge and
2. Because the darkness contains more subtle detailing helping the picture look more full of depth.
LG Electronics has added wireless transmission and PC connectivity features to its lineup of 52-inch LG LCD TVs
