down

demand up = prices up
demand down = prices down

No... the 'old' models will be 'sold out', and the new models with better
specs will be selling at - or near - pre-sale prices.

Don't know why they should. Late winter and spring is usually a slow time
for TV sales, and during the summer the manufacturers bring out new models
and discount the existing stock. On top of this, there is a steady trend
towards lower prices as manufacturers write off R&D and tooling costs.

That said, there is always a certain amount of up and down as manufacturers
and retailers compete with sales.

Well, the big sales from the official list prices will be over. With
the slow-down, we will probably see prices go back to close to the list
prices for the next month or so as the big chain stores wait out the 30
price guarantee period. Then March Madness starts up and we will likely
see another round of big sales pushes.

The new 2007 models will start showing up in March and April and they
will likely come out at new list prices not far above the current sale
prices. The normal 5% to 10% weekend sales at the chain stores for the
new 2007 models such as Best Buy will likely match the current sales
prices and may well be even lower.

and substantial.
I could now purchase the same or rather a better 40" than the one I
purchased about 6 months ago for substantially less.

Let's see.

Before the "Big Game"(I don't wanna get in
trouble with the NFL licensers )) demand goes up.
After the "Big Game" demand returns to normal. Now apply
the law of supply and demand and calculate the answer
to your own question

? JVC has announced the new 998 series for winter/spring but most other
makers usually introduce new models during the summer to get in on fall
buying for football/World Series/colder weather viewing. Unless you've heard
something that I haven't.

I doubt it. There is a long term trend for prices to go lower. The
thing about mass-appeal electronics is that when it comes to pricing
there is no bottom.
