I have been predicting that we would see a 32inch HD LCD display @ the or below the $500 price point and in my opinion it would occur this holiday season. Well it has already happened if you check many of the online retailers you can find LCDs at our now below that price point for that size LCD. Albeit off brands and not specs that most of us here would be all that impressed by, the average Joe will not care! But this set are real HD not EDTV and good enough to be called HD, these set will be the catalyst for shifting the HD tide. (Check Ecost.com for examples. 800:1 contrast and 1280 x 1024 sets.) This in my opinion is the turning point for HD with Sets at the price the Wal-Mart crowd i.e. the Rest of the WORLD (non technophiles) will jump in head first to HD. In addition many of the early adopters will go for second and third displays. More consumers that have HD will equal a larger base for which to justify network HD content creation. 2007 WILL BE THE YEAR OF HD for real this time.
