With a price decrease of 14.7% over the year 2007, it's no surprise that a lot of flat panels moved from store shelves to living rooms (especially during the
holiday season). As anyone who's either shopped for a display or purchased one knows, they also tend to get increasingly cheaper with time. No surprise, then, that Pacific Media Associates is calling for further drops in LCD and PDP prices over 2008. The company is predicting a 15.6% price decrease and 41% increase in volume sales in 2008. Prices are falling and increases in volume are slowing -- competition in the flat panel market just keeps getting hotter.

How does one become an "analyst"? Is it simply by pointing out the most obvious of scenerios?

Uh.. DUH! With Sony exiting the RPTV market, it is forcing people to buy flat panels.
Curse you Sony! I wanted that 70" SXRD!!! That would have been no more money than a tiny 50" (my current SD-RPTV is 50", so I need a widescreen of 61" minimum to give me the same 4:3 SD sized picture as I have now)
