Flatscreen TV manufacturers are reporting that consumers aren’t really buying many sets over 42 inches (diagonal). Is this surprising? Even though prices have dropped considerably, they’re still costlier than regular TV sets. And then there’s the impending changeover to HD broadcasting. And what about space in the home?

There are sets up to 103″ (even a rumored 150″ screen to come), but how many people really have that kind of space in their home? Even if I could find an uninterrupted wall at home that could handle a TV of just 50 inches, I’d have to figure out where to move the furniture that’s already there.

As nice as the Aquos 65-inch TV screens (pictured above) are, and the LG/Philips 52- and 84-inch screens no doubt are, few people can/ are going to move the furniture around to accomodate.

On the other hand, fast forward a few years and if some manufacturer has combined ultra-thin “digital paper” with TV sets and makes them HD-capable, I’d be first to clear some space on a wall, even possible rotate my furniture to suit.
