how quickly and how much of a price drop is expected now 3d TV is on the market?

I've got my eye out for a 42" 1080p but happy to be a bit patient

any thoughts? thanks

    i expect prices to rocket, the world markets are picking up nicely (car production in the uk is up 90% this month compared to this time last year) so there wont be so much of a glut of supply

    the pound is devaluing faster than a fast thing covered in fast sauce which will only get worse i think

    and 3D TVs will be high end expensive goods for the next couple of years for the early adopters, there's almost zero content after all.

    I personally would expect it to be quite a while before 3d has a real impact on the market, I would imagine LCD/LED will remain at roughly this level for a couple of years yet. The pound may be devaluing, but it is only this bad because there is uncertainty about the election. If we get a decent government in power then it will at least level out.

    Personally we are holding out for OLED or AMOLED, the screens are getting bigger all the time and prices will be reasonable within the next 5 years or so, just hope our CRT TV makes it through!
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    that and the fact Gordo has pumped 200 billion of extra cash into the system, if you increase cash circulation by 20% you devalue it by 20%
