LCD Screens Are Getting More Affordable
Electronics | Feb 9, 05
New production facilities are pouring LCD screens into the market, and that increased supply is pushing down prices. As we moved into the New Year, this effect has become even more pronounced. Consider the Sony LF-X1 LocationFree TV, a 12.1-inch model that allows you to roam wireless up to 100 feet from its base or connect to any Wi-Fi hotspot. Back in early December of 2004 the best price for this model was almost $1,200, today you can pick it up for just over a grand.
But the price drops aren't just on the low end; the big screen prices are dropping too. For example, the JVC PD-42V475 is a 42 inch HDTV-ready screen that last September would have cost you at least $2,700 and today will run you about $2,100.
These are huge percentage drops over a very short period of time, and you can find scores of similar cases by poking around PriceSCAN. If you've waited until after the holidays to pounce on a bargain, feel free to pounce away.
