HDTV, other electronics prices expected to get much cheaper soon

saving-money.jpgIn the market for a new HDTV or Blu-ray player? You might want to wait a couple months, as all indications point towards huge drops in prices for the holiday season. Thanks to a combo of slowed consumer spending, the weak economy, and favorable demand, we're going to see HDTVs and other tech hit their lowest prices ever.

Analysts are expecting Blu-ray players hitting at less than $150, with a 42-inch LCD TV with 720p resolution hitting as low as $599. 22-inch LCD monitors for less than $100 and 50-inch plasma TVs at $699 are also expected. Not too bad, eh? Well, just have some patience. Lower-end brands of TVs are expected to bottom out on Black Friday, while high-end TVs should be their cheapest in December. Sounds good to us!

That's great news! With the holidays fast approaching, it's the perfect time to think about upgrading to an HDTV and Blu-Ray. I've been working with Warner Home Video on some projects and they are really backing Blu-Ray as their preferred format for the future.
