Wired News: Home Is Where Intel Wants to Be

New [Liquid Crystal on Silicon] displays will give consumers 'film-like HDTV experiences at very affordable prices,' Otellini said. He predicted that by 2005, consumers would be able to buy a 50-inch HDTV for less than $1,800.

'This will change big screen television economics,' he said."

hmm, I've started looking for a new TV, but may hold off to see if this prediction comes true. Our old TV is fine for regular TV, but anything with fine print (games, news tickers for example) are getting hard to read. We're seeing alot of blur on the left and right sides of the screen. If I could buy a good HDTV for $1800 USD today I would, but a good HDTV can be as much as $5000 CDN.

- Peace
