It sounded like the biggest market for TVs this past Christmas was people who already own a flatscreen and wanted one in an additional room, such as bedroom. Similar to the PC boom and bust of the late 90s/early 2000s, we’ve reached the point in the cycle when most people who want a flatscreen have one, and there isn’t much incentive to upgrade. Maybe OLED or additional computer-like features will change that as the economy continues improving.[/quote]
TV’s seem to be more like washing machines than computers when it comes to consumer buying patterns.
They generally last a long time and there has to be a really compelling reason to update/upgrade.
