...G'day Stu,
Well I am speaking as me and maybe I am young to some & old to others?
Back the 1991 I became aware of the first 42†plasma panels available here in Australia. They were Fujitsu. They were not readily available in shops & you needed to source then direct from Fujitsu. The recommended retail price was $18,999. However you could have one delivered for about $12,000 ~ I inquired to Fujitsu and the national or state (I forget now) sales manager phoned me back and offered me the price.
I didn’t end up buying one as I wanted to actually see it in the flesh first. By the time I saw one I did think it looked ok but not as good as the glossy pics in the magazines. I didn’t pull the trigger for several years but I have owed several since then and currently have two.
I have never noticed or heard of women being the driving force behind flat-panel sales in this area. They are still often referred to as â€boy’s toys†but just this last 12 months flat panel TVs have reduced in price to where they are just about affordable to anyone who chooses to own one.
Stu I do not doubt many women will not allow large rear-projection TVs in their lounge rooms or other items viewed as “ugly†but I am just not aware of it being a significant factor in driving plasma (any flat panel) sales in this area. Of course it may well be a factor in other areas or even here & I am simply not aware of it.
