According to Pacific Media Associates (PMA), the average price of a 30 inch+ HDTV-capable set in North America fell by another 3% in January this year. The 32" WXGA high-definition (HD) LCD TV segment was the best portion according to Rosemary Abowd, PMA vice president. These units accounted for 23% of all the units sold in January with an average street price of US$900.
37" WXGA LCD TVs dropped 33% in January, caused by increased sales through online retailers at agressive discounts. LCD models sold beat Plasma displays by about 2 to 1, LCD's largest lead yet by PMA's figures. The top 20 best selling models in January 2007 were LCD sets, compared to just 6 of the 20 last January.
The best-selling model for January was the 50" Panasonic TH-50PX600U.
