No. 1 Reason People Buy HDTV's: Better DVD Picture Quality?!?!?

DVD Viewing No.1 Reason For HDTV Purchases
With HDTV prices dropping drastically this year and Black Friday coming very soon, HD is the buzz once again. By the end of 2007, it's expected that over half of American households will own a digital TV set (of which not all are high-def), compared to 26% at the end of 2006, and forecasted to be 67% by the end of next year. Not only is price pushing sales along, but the upcoming transition of broadcast signals from analog to digital is helping fuel the fire as well. So far HD DVD and Blu-ray players, though the focus of much attention due to their ongoing "format war", have not had much affect of digital TV sales although that's expected to change over the next couple of years. Most interestingly though, retailers who sell HDTV's cite increased picture clarity on DVDs as the number one reason consumer's purchase high-def boxes!
