Cost Of HDTV
The Cost Of A New High Definition Television
The price of a new HDTV depends on a lot of different factors such as the size of the screen, the technology
adopted and even on the manufacturer who produces the high definition television. The superior picture quality
depends on the number of pixels on the screen area and the number of lines on the screen. HDTV with six times
greater pixel count obviously has a much higher resolution and a superior sound quality and richness. The cost of a
new HDTV can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousands of dollars, depending on the cost of the TV, the
programming costs and the cost of the accessories.
While the tube of a high definition television (dimensions measuring 30” - 34”) costs $500 - $1000, the flat
panel costs around $1500 - $2500 (dimensions measuring 37” - 42”) and the projection costs about $1000 - $2000
(dimensions measuring 40” - 50”). Similarly the cost of programming also varies from one type of programming to
another. While ‘over the air’ programming involves the cost of the antenna and costs around $20 - $100, a cable or
satellite provider can cost around $5 on a monthly basis and about $200 - $300 for the receiver. Similarly, high
definition (Blu-ray) DVD players are the most recent inventions and can cost more than about $1000. The cost of
accessories can cost a few hundred dollars. And that’s all.
The Cost Of A New HDTV Can Range From A Few Hundred Dollars To Several Thousands Of Dollars, Depending On The
Cost Of The TV Itself, The Programming Costs And The Cost Of The Accessories.
