little woman - I see from your post that you were shopping for a widescreen LCD TV. I hope that you didn't get one yet. There was a report on CNBC Europe (SquawkBox) last week that said that the cost of these lasrge LCD TVs will drop dramatically this year. It transpires that Phillips (and others) expected to be selling tons of these and so built three new factories in China/Taiwan (or somewhere in the east) last summer to cater for the demand. They reported last week that they will be shutting down at least one of these factories since demand for the product was much much lower than they expected. They now have an LCD TV mountain to get rid of. Hence, bargain price later this year.
