Electronics:  News & Tips  

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) --

As Best Buy gears up for its important high-definition TV sales months, a new survey from the No. 1

electronics retailer

reveals that almost 90 percent of Americans still don't understand HDTVs –

and close to 50 percent underestimate the cost of buying one.

Many consumers do not budget appropriately for the HD experience...

This means you must allocated additional costs for cables, audio systems and

upgrading to cable or satellite services that offer HD channels. The HD

experience is not just the flat-screen TV, you need to include the additional

equipment and services...

The misconception is that "flat-panel means HD". No, no, no... you have to

do something else... You have to upgrade to a HD service provider.
