Signs of a Glut and Lower Prices on Thin TV's

While hanging a television on the living- room wall may have captured 
the imagination of American consumers, it has yet to empty many 
pocketbooks.

That may soon change as a glut of liquid crystal display flat-panel 
televisions, called L.C.D.'s, enter the market, a result of a boom in 
new factories. According to several manufacturers and analysts, the 
prices for L.C.D. flat-panel TV's will drop in the new year, falling 
by as much as 30 percent by the end of 2005. The prices of plasma 
flat-panel TV's are also expected to fall significantly.

That is not a message that the electronics retailers want to be heard 
during the holiday shopping season. They are hoping that the price 
cuts that have already occurred will spur more people to buy 
flat-panel sets, and many are already offering discounts to increase 
traffic in their stores.
