I'm sure your right. With HD sets now being pushed hard by retailers and standard CRT flat screen prices dropping then I guess LCD/Plasma sets will fall as well. I've been looking in shops lately and there seem to be more LCD/Plasma sets on show than CRT flat screens so competition from retailers will surely bring prices down. Don't forget to look on the net too...check out Amazon & Play.com for reviews as well. I'm looking at a 19" LCD Samsung LE19R71BX..anyone any comments on this model?

I hope they don't come down too much beyond the general drift-downwards that all technology goes through - having just spent ?1100 on a set I'll be a bit gutted if it were ?600 next month!

Gonna get worse yet I'm afraid ppl. Theres gonna be another technology out next year called SED.

Currently we have Plasma and LCD.
Plasma suffers from burn-in problems with static on screen graphics (like sky etc), and LCD is hard to make with Zero dead pixels (so its expensive to make it very large)
SED is like current TVs (CRTs) but is flat.

See IGN: CES 2006: Toshiba's Plasma/LCD Killer (http://uk.gear.ign.com/articles/679/679235p1.html) for a report.

Looks like prices are gonna really drop then. Lets see what technology survives !

you can forget the after christmas sales as this is all bull_hit.

i went into comet about 4 months ago and they agreed to drop the price of a 40 inch lcd by ?200.

At christmas they drop a little without you having to ask but not by as much as that.

We'll have to wait for the real price drop.

when i bought my camcorder i paid ?700 and 2 months later they dropped by ?400 :sad: dont want that to happen again!

As for monitors, i saw one in costco ...samsung 22 inch for around ?250 and it looked really good.
