Filed under: Trends, Business, Gear, Television  My wife says buying an HDTV doesn't count as a New Year's resolution. I argued the point with her for 20 minutes, but she insists I pick something more constructive for '07. After much deliberation, I deiced my resolution for the new year will be to stop setting myself up for failure...and look into a new TV.
Dennis Barker over at Electronic House wrote a great summary of all the latest TV tech we can expect over the new year. According to Barker, we can expect "microdisplays" to bring 1080p into the realm of the common man. DLP and LCoS (AKA D-ILA's awesome cousin,) two rear projection technologies. allow for more affordable 1080p HD with a relatively thin footprint. In other words, they cost less than Plasma or LCD, and don't take up much more space.
Of course, if you are still set on a flat screen, be careful, and get your facts right, as the boundary between the two technologies continues to blur. LCD keeps getting bigger, and better, while the price of Plasma seems to be coming down a bit.
