A Look Ahead to HDTV in 2007
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 05:00 PM
"At last year's CES we saw 1080p resolution displays all over the place, and now they've become somewhat commonplace. Of course, we expect tremendous numbers of 1080p TVs at CES 2007, and their prices will fall as they inexorably replace other resolutions, especially among flat-panel LCDs and big-screen rear-projection sets. But what comes next? We think it's a bit early to see many higher-than-1080p resolution displays. Instead of resolution, we expect manufacturers to focus on improving other aspects of television performance, many of which may prove difficult to explain to the average consumer--but hey, that's what CNET does best, right? Here's a look at some TV technology trends you'll be hearing a lot about during our show coverage."
Of course there will be price drops, but there are also some other improvements on the way. Some, like 3D HDTV seem a bit gimmicky, but many of the other new technologies will lead the way to bigger and better sets in the future.
