Radio Shack picks LGs and Panasonics HDTVs

Do they have enough room in those stores to offer enough of a selection on the floor and room in the back to store 'em? We just don't see this helping Radio Shack.Thoughts?

High definition has been struggling to gain a solid foothold for a few years now. Most large TVs that are sold are HD but, in my experience as a retail TV salesman, the average consumer does not have them hooked up to high-def just yet. A person could blame this on a few things like lack of programming or just plain ignorance. However, I think that it boils down to the universal language of money.
