I think the only figure I would repeat is the 55 million HD Sets was reported by the CEO of a company making HD sets as the market for 2007. This was on CNBC which I watch regularly for market news.
Remember these 55 million sets go in mnay more rooms nowadays than just the living room, and include small sets and large sets. So obviously "half" (which it's not more than half, 115 million US households) would not all have to be buying sets.
Regardless, last year HD sets outsold SD sets so that's where the trend is headed in the US.
In my other thread, I show how there have been about 35million HDTVs sold in america, with 10% of people being repeat buying, thus leaving 32.5million households with a HDTV. Which comes out to roughly 25% of american households have HDTV.
2007 is the year people will be buying HDTV. I expect close to 40-50% households by then.
(I expect it to take roughly 20-40years for HDTVs to pass SDTVs produced tho... since that is just a blink in the eye of SDTVs life.
