High-Definition Demand Expected To Drive TV Holiday Sales
Dear Santa,
Gimmie gimmie gimmie!
“Flat-panel HDTV sales will drive the consumer electronics market as a whole this holiday season,” Ross Rubin, director of industry analysis at NPD, said in a statement. “Lower prices and improving picture quality are rapidly sidelining the bulky tube television.”
Shipments of HDTVs increased 52% from January through September this year compared with the same period a year ago. In terms of sales, revenue from the sets increased 39% over a year ago.
What? Santa doesn’t work like that? Ah, nuts.
