Is the bottom falling out from under HDTV Prices?
A couple of month ago I was on the verge of buying an Olevia 747i. Well it wasn't availble yet, but the msrp on it was $3400. When it came out is was going for $2700. Now you can find it for under $2200 at Buy.com, and probably even lower elsewhere. The other LCD I was looking at, the LC-46D62U was about $2400 less than a month ago and is now available for $1700 (http://biz.tigerdirect.com/applicati...2#detailspecs).
What is surprising is that mid-summer isn't exactly discount fever. So are these prices dropping that fast? Can we expect even better prices around the Labor Day sales crunch? Will the Thanksgiving sales feature that Sharp Aquos for under $1000? What's going on with LCD & Plasma production? Does anyone have some input on what's happening with inventories overseas?
