Even if you're broke and you need the product NOW, most purchases over $1k are available with low rate financing, so why not take advantage of that?]]>Feb 27th 2009 9:30AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/02/27/eqd-promises-low-prices-on-auria-hdtv-line-wont-give-specifics/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/02/27/eqd-promises-low-prices-on-auria-hdtv-line-wont-give-specifics/
EHD is over represented by the type who have no issues with the idea of spending $2,000-6,000 on a state of the art Plasma TV. Most of the country is not made up of that group. Most of the country is made up of people who, ten years ago, bought 25"-32" CRT TVs for $200-300, and are getting serious sticker shock when they walk into Best Buy and see the cheapest TV that would fit their room is $600-700, with the sales person trying to steer them into four digits.

Nobody wants a lousy TV. What they want is "good enough" at "affordable enough". Your complaint would be fair if some company somewhere was producing $100 32" TVs with a 100:1 (sic) contrast ratio and 480 lines of resolution, but nobody's proposing that. Given the quality difference between an average SD CRT or SD RPTV, and the cheapest 800:1 768p 32" LCD TV, people aren't exactly getting bad stuff.

(Hmm. Getting back to that crappy $100 TV earlier, how would you make that? I guess some kind of rear projection with an LCD from a mobile phone might do it. Time to enter the TV business...)

Would be interesting if they did price the TV'S 20% lower than the Vizio price tag though....
