My HDTV is already an antique
Okay, maybe not EXACTLY an antique, but news out of the world of Sony products today kind of makes me sad.
According to a rumor that EngadgetHD has pretty much confirmed now, Sony is discontinuing the production of all rear-projection televisions. They may not even make attempts to fill backorders.
Engadget even created this little graphic below to make the news sting a bit more:
I have a Sony GrandWega 42-inch rear projection LCD HDTV that I absolutely love and have loved for awhile now. It’s never had a problem, the bulb is still going strong and I see no reason to replace it.
But Sony isn’t making them anymore, and is the last of the big manufacturers to do so. It was funny the other day I thought that I am seeing less and less of these kinds of TVs around at Best Buy and other electronic stores, and now the news arrives.
Why does it hurt? Well, when you pay $1800 for a TV only to have its kind completely outdated in less than three years, it makes you wonder.
More than likely Blu-Ray will win the war coming up here soon, ruin my new HD-DVD player and then I’ll have an open house for all of you guys to check out the electronics museum I seem to be creating over here.
