Last year, a company called HANNspree altered people’s expectations about what TV was supposed to look like with its unique high-performance “design-centric” small screen sets. This fall, the company is taking it up a notch, offering a line of advanced large-screen flat-panel models that feature the same unflinching attention to detail, to design, and style as their smaller predecessors. The company’s new large screen sets give owners the opportunity to enjoy unprecedented elegance, style and cosmetic design. In other words, you can say goodbye to the traditional black box. Packed with the latest performance and convenience features, HANNspree’s new large-panel TVs are the perfect solution for today’s style-conscious and tech-savvy consumers.

As expected with the thriving LCD HDTV technology, prices are dropping, but the rate at which this is occurring is slowing dramatically. There should be significant price drops through the next couple of years until the market for LCD HDTVs stabilizes. However, price tag dips are already beginning to slow by comparison to last year.

Samsung Electronics and Sony Corporation announced they will be investing $2,000,000,000 to create the world’s largest LCD panel production factory. The new plant will be located in South Korea and will begin production of the LCD panels some time in 2007.
