So I have a 3 year old 27" SD set and I want to buy a digital receiver
for it. What price will I be willing to pay when a new 27" TV cost $300?
Would you pay the going rate today, $200? At that point I think I would
buy the new TV. Would I pay a hundred? Maybe.
So I think these new SD integrated digital sets make about 200 million
of those ATSC sets and virtually all those non ATSC VCR's obselete. I
don't think there is much of a market there as soon as these sets are
being sold.
And whatever the market is it will be a deadend one and how much time is
there before there is no market.
LG is not primarily an STB company which would play into their decision
also.
