Q: Is now the best time to buy a new HDTV?
A: Yes!!

As seen on Good Morning America Thursday, June 25th, many industry analysts say now is the time to buy a new HDTV. According to Displaysearch.com, a consulting firm for TV manufacturers, despite the recession, demand for LCD TVs is expected to rise 21 percent this year. That unusual rise in demand will affect normal pricing cycles, and TV prices are expected to go up as we head into the fall.

Normally, TV prices go down during the fall and winter as retailers stock up in anticipation of holiday sales. But this year, two factors are at play: tight-fisted consumers have already forced retailers to lower prices to the bare minimum, and there is little room for retailers to lower prices further.

The second factor: global sales of LCD TV's are up (and slated to go way up) because of China's stimulus plan. The Chinese government is offering consumers a rebate on LCD TV's. LCD supplies are being diverted away from the United States and toward China to meet the anticipated demand. Less supply here means higher prices in the near future.

Bottom line, many analysts say now is the time to buy a new LCD TV.
