DVD, Big Screen TV Prices Drop

There’s great news for consumers on DVD players and big screen TV’s. The price on DVD players has plummeted from the sky. Last year the cheapest DVD player you could find that was good quality was about $100. This year, you’re looking at $60. DVD changers have also come down in price. The Sony DVP-CX875P 300 disc DVD changer is down from over $1000 last year to less than $500 this year. 300 DVD capacity means that it’s video on demand, no need to change discs, just hit your remote and you’re watching a new movie. Under $500.

Big screen TV’s also have come down in price. Everyone is talking about Plasma TV’s, but Plasma is $5000 and above. If you want the big screen TV experience without spending $5000, a Projection TV is the way to go. The Sony KP-46WT500 is a 46-inch widescreen aspect ratio, hi-definition TV. Last year a TV like this would have cost $3000 or $4000, this Sony is only $1800. It’s got the wide aspect ratio, the 16 x 9 aspect ratio for widescreen HDTV as well as DVD movies. The Sony also has a built in audio system of surprising good quality, better than most built in audio systems in TV’s. www.sel.sony.com
