Best Buy: 1080 - 384 720 - 155 Wal-Mart: 1080 - 128 720 - 41 HHGregg: 1080 - 126 720 - 26 NewEgg: 1080 - 298 720 - 82 Amazon: 1080 - 681 720 - 232 Frys: 1080 - 313 720 - 91 Tiger Direct: 1080 - 290 720 - 42 A few years, 720p TV's were likely the largest volume seller but that's certainly not the case today. However, it's possible that most in use are still 720p but no way to know outside of some questionable Nielsen type data. |
It's an ongoing transition. The fact that so many of these retailers are now offering so many 1080p models and phasing out 720s just proves my point that at present most people still do not yet own 1080p sets. Most people are lower-middle class, they don't have $750 - $1000 to spend on a giant HDTV set with full 1080p. We're talking about a population that still predominantly uses DVDs, which are standard-def. Outside of the bubble we're in, as tech-junkies or whatever you wanna call it, most people don't know or care about 1080p, let alone want to pay for it.
The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
