Prices for HDTV sets are falling as cable, satellite and broadcast outlets add programming.(St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
Byline: Jerri Stroud
High-definition television used to be only for the wealthy _ or the particular _ TV viewer.
No longer. HDTV sets are selling for as little as $550 for a 27-inch model or about $1,500 for the lowest-priced big-screen model, an informal check of local retailers showed. Some high-end models still cost $9,000 to $15,000 each.
And HD programming, once a rarity, is available from cable, satellite and broadcast sources.
"It's coming into the family rooms and the great rooms," said Tony Vieira, general manager of the Sound Room in Chesterfield, Mo., which specializes in high-end audio and video equipment as well as home-theater installations.
Though just 10 percent of U.S. households have HDTV sets, 40 percent will have them by 2008, predicts Adi Kishore, an analyst with the Yankee Group in Boston. Kishore and other analysts estimate that Americans own about 10 million HD sets; about 2 million receive HD programming.
