Evidence to support our prediction… LCD vs. Plasma
In our blog entry from June 6 - http://blog.solidsignal.com/index.php/2007/06/12/hd-predications - we predicted LCD would continue to emerge as a frontrunner in terms of HDTV. A recent article from the Financial Times discussed this trend. “Hirotsugu Terada, the head of Sharp’s audio/video group, forecast that sales of large LCD TVs in So it sounds like LCD sales could be more than double that of plasma. Although plasma was originally the frontrunner, LCD technology innovations have positioned it for future growth, a trend Solid Signal has been noticing, especially as more 1080p LCD TVs 50 inches or larger have been introduced. Now – we are not saying not to buy plasma. Different factors, from budget to use to personal preference can influence the decision. At Solid Signal, our goal is to help you find the best product to meet your personal needs. We’ve gone as far as to contact a customer after they order something to let them know something else might be a better fit. This is why there is a “Have a product question” button by every product – we are happy to answer anything to help you find the right products to enhance your technology!
Japan would reach 1.1m units in the half year from October to March 2008, compared with 478,000 units for plasma televisions.”

Do you have an HDTV set… and do you have HD programming?
Although these should go hand in hand, they are very different questions. A recent study from the Consumer Electronics Association shows that 30 percent of U.S households have HDTV…but less than half (44 percent) of HDTV owners receive HD programming. Owners cite a few reasons for not getting HD programming… including cost and disinterest. In addition, many admit to not knowing if they have HD programming or not. If cost is the issue for you – we understand. HD programming can be expensive. One cost effective way to get HD programming is an antenna. For a low, one-time cost, you can receive high quality over-the-air HD content. Antennas provide free access to regional channels – some areas have more than 30 stations available over the air, including music and weather channels. But for those of you who can’t live without HD programming from ESPN and other networks, cable or satellite is the way to go. The moral of this study is that many of you aren’t experiencing the true benefits of your HDTV set. We can help you pick out an affordable antenna or the right satellite provider to enhance your experience – without breaking the bank.

Solid Signal is expanding!
Because we’re an online electronics retailer, you probably don’t think twice about our office space. However – this space is used to fulfill all of our orders. Unlike many online retailers – who don’t warehouse their own products – we have inventory of all products right here at Solid Signal headquarters. This is multi-functional, giving us access to our own products to ensure quality, take detailed, in-house photos and have extensive product knowledge based on actual experience. And because of our growth since 2002 – thanks to your support and loyalty – we are out of space. So, next month, we are moving! As you can imagine, it is busy (as usual) around here, but we are excited to more than triple our space to be able to continue to expand our product line as well as customer base.
