I'm not really looking for a definite answer here, just thought I'd like to see what other people think.
Where do you see TVs in 5 years time? I've recently bought a cheap 28" Thomson TV, flat screen, 100Hz, which I'm really pleased with. However, all of these flatscreen tv's are huge in terms of depth, and I'd really have liked to have gone for a plasma, projector or LCD TV, that would free up a bit of floorspace.
However, they're all really expensive at the moment, and it's confusing deciding which technology will out. What do you think? Will CRT TVs still dominate in 5 years time, or will we see lots of homes with plasma, projector or LCD screens? It's amazing how quickly widescreen TVs have dominated the market over the old (6:9?) sets, so I guess the market moves quickly.
Also, I've got a second question. I didn't do too much research before I bought the TV, I just had a look at the picture quality and compared them. I went for 100Hz, because I remembered reading ages ago that it gave a better picture with 100Hz broadcasts. I have to say I like the picture quality on DVDs and Playstation games, but does anyone regularly broadcast 100Hz signals? I've got a sky box, are the digital brodcasts also 100Hz, in line with terrestial broadcasts?
Sorry for the long questions...
