NEW BREAKTHROUGH CAN CUT COST OF THIS HI-DEF TV SET BY HALF
June 13, 2006 -- OUT of the blue, reseachers have developed a new technology that could put big-screen, high-definition TVs within reach of just about every wallet.
The technology, from Canadian tech firm iFire, would allow manufacturers to create super-sharp TVs less than two-inches thick that could hang on the wall - and cost less than $1,000.
The tiny company already has created 34-inch TVs that weigh in at just a few pounds, and 37-inch screens that would cost consumers half of what the cheapest similarly-sized TV sells for now.
"We can see them on the market by 2007," says iFire vice president Don Carkner.
