Washington, D.C.
(April 9, 2007)
-- The Consumer Electronics Association says
High-Definition TVs are now in 28 percent of U.S.
households.
The trade group, which represents electronics makers, also said there are roughly 35 million high-def sets in U.S. homes.
More than half of those sets are 40 inches or larger, the CEA said. The group added that another 16 million HDTVs will ship into the marketplace this year.

According to the CEA study, 86 percent of high-def owners say they are "highly satisfied" with their purchase.
However, a different CEA study found that some consumers are turning to the Internet to find more content.
“Consumers are finding and consuming enormous amounts of content each year,” says Joe Bates, CEA's director of research. “In 2006, consumers reported watching a total of 2.5 billion hours of video content at home each week with movies and TV shows being reported as most watched. Consumers acquire their content from the traditional paid services, but the study also revealed that an increasing number are connecting PCs in order to watch Internet videos and to view digital photos. This is particularly true of LCD TV owners.”
