Most people have resisted buying HDTV because there are technical problems, programming problems and the product itself is very expensive. But there are two attempts to change all of that. The first involves the cable TV industry, which is pushing HDTV during the NCAA basketball tournament. They’ve worked out a deal with Samsung to offer discounts on HDTVs. And the company is going to run a lot of ads about how great the product is. In addition, Dish Network has a flat rate HDTV deal that costs $999. You can either get a big screen 40-inch monitor or a traditional 34-inch TV, along with the HDTV equipment and the antenna. They hook it all up and you’re done for under a grand. That’s great under today’s standards. So, if you can’t wait anymore, this could be your chance. There is still a lack of programming, so that’s a bummer. But prices are going down and they will keep going down.

What if you didn’t need a TV at all to watch TV? Sounds strange, huh? Well, it’s happening. The picture just appears magically wherever you are in the house and you can watch TV wherever you choose. Clark saw a story in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about this technology, which costs $115,000. That’s a little pricey for Clark’s taste, but we’ll see how it does.
