Aren’t HDTV sets much more expensive?
Digital and HDTV technology is falling in price at a pretty fast clip, but it’s still more expensive than buying a regular TV set. When HDTV sets first hit the market, it was difficult to find anything for under $10,000. Many prices have fallen by as much as half. Today you can buy newer-model HDTV sets for around $1,500 to $3,000, which is about the same as many folks spend on big-screen analog TVs. You can find standard-definition digital TV sets for under $1,000.
