Remember when a plasma TV cost $10,000? Now it's a $1,000 item you can pick up in any electronics store.
The electronics industry found itself in an odd situation at the 40th annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. It is succeeding spectacularly at something that seemed borderline impossible at the start of the decade -- making high-definition TV a mass-market product.
Remember when a plasma TV cost $10,000 and was something we saw only in an ad on a crummy analog tube TV? Now it's a $1,000 item you can pick up in any electronics store. Has any other manufactured product gotten that cheap over the past six years?
As HDTV prices have plunged, to the delight of consumers who have bought them by the millions, quality and features continue to improve.
