The reality is that LCDs of the same dimensions as previous HD CRTs
already now cost *less* than those CRTs did, only 3 years ago, and that
HD CRT TVs are essentially extinct.

And yes, many people have also decided that spending more money than
they might have done previously, for a larger HDTV than their previous
analog TV, makes sense. This would not have been the case *except for*
HDTV content being broadcast.
