new wave of TV's

[gabe]

hi all --

i recently purchased a 36" HD wega for a good price. They've been on sale at BestBuy and CircuitCity. SONY KV36HS510


It seems that all the flat screen HD tv's are on sale -- which leads me to believe that there are a new wave of TV's coming.

Does anyone have any insight to the new TV's coming out? I want to know if it's worth returning the TV i bought and waiting for the newer (and theoretically better) tv's.

technology specs or any insight to advances would be great.

thanks!
gabe.

Hi gabe and welcome!

You're from across the pond aren't you?

We're a friendly bunch but know little about U.S market TVs, check out www.avsforum.com where someone should be able to help out

It's worth saying that there's no "big new thing" about to come out and replace HD as yet (and we're still waiting for HD here in the UK!)

Gabe,

I'm afraid that with TV's (along with computers and other electronic gear) there's always something better and/or cheaper just around the corner.

It's easy to get into the "I'll wait another month" syndrome, but then you'll end up never buying anything.

I think the best advice for your Sony is, if you're happy with it, then enjoy it.

Best wishes.

thanks for the info guys!

tight... yea, i know what you mean. i have bought the tv but it's not delivered yet, so i thought i'd look around in case there was something obvious.

rct.. thanks for the link!

The only real development in TVs in the near future is the increasing number of LCD screens that will be sold, certainly in the UK. Many manufacturers are predicting a 50% reduction in CRT sets in the next couple of years as LCDs take over. The LCD market is really driven by looks and the snob factor as a decent CRT set will outperform pretty much any LCD at the moment.
