TV market stuff

Those of you in the market for an LCD or plasma TV may want to wait until the summer to buy. Samsung thinks prices are going to fall for Q1 and then stabilize in Q2 and Q3. I'd wait until about a month before college football season starts, otherwise you risk getting to the stores right when demand starts to pick up.

Oh, and word of advice: if you're going to buy a Samsung DLP (the HLP series) and you play video games, I'd think twice about it. I have one, and the thing is so damn high tech it plays around with the video feed coming in before it gets to the screen in attempt to clear it up. This causes a delay - with movies it's no problem because the audio is delayed too. With video games, it's a pain in the ass and renders kicking field goals in Madden damn near impossible. You COULD teach yourself to get used to it, but then just get reamed by your friends when you go over to their house to play. I'm absolutely floored that a $75 billion company (that is supposedly the best in the world at everything it does) fucked this one up so nicely. I'd still buy the stock, it's cheap as hell, but damn...
