Sony announced this week that they will be ceasing the manufacturing of rear projection SXRD televisions. All of them.
Other companies cannot be too far behind IMO. Price margins have fallen so much that it is simply not worth the effort.
What it means? Flat panels will be the majority if not all that is available in the HDTV market. Remember, if you want one of the larger sizes (55" or up)
Your choices are going to be extremely limited and the prices will not be low.
So if you were planning on buying one. Grab it while you can.
Merry Christmas to all.
