Is it declining? I've heard you say this for perhaps a
decade. Do we have any credible indication that the
percentage is still declining? In Germany it was, until
DTT freeview introduction anyway, but here?
By the way, I'm not entirely positive what set is
considered equivalent to the other, but here are some
very interesting numbers from the LG web site.
These are all 26" LCD TVs, with identical screen specs,
and apparently identical extra image processing bells
and whistles. I'm sure some extra digging would uncover
the detail differences. (The only difference I could see
between the two integrated TVs was that one has a swivel
stand.) The integrated sets are also digital cable
compatible.
Integrated ATSC 26LX2D, 1366 X 768 res, 1200:1 contrast
ratio: MSRP $2199.95
Integrated ATSC 26LX1D, 1366 X 768 res, 1200:1 contrast
ratio: MSRP $1999.95
HD ready 26LZ30, 1280 X 768 res, unspecified contrast
ratio: MSRP $1899.95
The price premium for ATSC may be as low as $100 today,
and that's with a screen at least as good as, if not
better than, the monitor. In one and a half years, I'll
stick with $35.
