yeah
I heard speakers don\'t become obsolete or do their prices changes much (it means they rarely drop in price) while tvs usually drop in prices as time go by and the performance and features of the tvs go up.
Say like in 2000, a sony 20" flatscreen analog will cost you $350. And it have only two composite video inputs. Now you can get the 21" For $200 with S-video and Component video input.
Same thing with HDTV, back then (1999), a 34" widescreen tube hdtv cost $4,000 - $8000, and it have no hd tuner, no DVI, and only 1 component hd video.
Now you can get 34" for $2,000 and less with DVI, and two component hd videos. and the hd tuner have drop in prices too. You can get a good one for $400.
But if you wait, you get better tv and cheaper too as it becomes more available, popular, and mass produce.
what other things you can expect on hdtv in the upcoming years:
-hdmi will replaces dvi
-thanks to hdmi enormous bandwidth, some manufacturerer will go the extra mile and implement 1080p hdtv. then tv can actually do 1080p (progressively instead of 1080i) either from hd dvd player or from the tv. Imagine playing video games in 1080p. :dance:
So, if you have an analog tv big screen or something, i say save your money and spend it on a good speakers and wait for like 6 months or 1 year and see how hdtv have improve an maybe decrease in price. Unless your tv died on you like mine is or you are rich, i wouldn\'t spent money on hdtv yet.
