HDTV sales are seemingly bucking the trend… With the economy and job market awry, some impacted consumers after a new TV have simply been shopping for smaller LCD screens – but many are buying plasma sets to get more screen for less money. In the realm of large screens, lower-resolution 720p plasma HDTVs are substantially cheaper than similar-sized 1080p LCD TVs.
Plasma HDTV sales have soared by 42% in the second quarter of this year compared to the first, according to a report from Quixel Research. Tamaryn Pratt, a member of Quixel, said the spike was a result of consumers trying to save money.
