- The 2005 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics is
moving to Las Vegas in January in conjunction with the Consumer
Electronics Show. They've issued a call for papers (due June 15):
http://www.icce.org/call_for_papers/ICCE05_CFP.pdf
- Based on figures from CEA, sales of VCRs to U.S. dealers were down 68%
for the first 16 weeks of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003.
Non-H/DTV direct-view TV sets were UP 5.9%. My ten-week running average
for them was up 2.5%.
So-called "Digital Television" sales to U.S. dealers for the 16th
week were 83,063 units. For the first 16 weeks of the year, there were
1,175,642 units. "Digital Televisions" (most of which are HDTV displays
without DTT-reception capability) accounted for about 14.6% of the TVs
(not counting plasma or direct-view LCD) sold to U.S. dealers so far
this year. It may be worth noting here what that means. Over 85% of
the TVs sold so far this year were still plain non-H/DTV direct-view TVs
with picture tubes.
To qualify as a "Digital Television," a display need only be
capable of dealing with at least 480p; it need not be capable of either
receiving digital signals or displaying them. Devices actually capable
of receiving DTT signals were still a small fraction of those numbers.
- Ads for set-top DTT receivers: I'm aware of only the Samsung at J&R.
- The ads - Best Buy listed HD resolution for the Samsung LTN1535 but
not the LTN1735; Conn's did the opposite.
