Agreed, I would guess based on people at work that it may be around 25 to 30 percent if even that. Since I have cable I doubt I'll replace my 27" panasonic anytime soon as most TV sucks and doesn't really need uber quality anyway.
May get a projector for watching movies in the next year or so though.
I have a Thomson CRT 28" 4:3 about 4 years old. We traded up to a 32" Flat Wega a year later, and now we are trading up to a 46" Sony X, but I must agree that Thomson, and Ferguson (bought by Thomson) made some good sets.
Are these figures based on sales, as I expect people with DTV have 3/4 devices. I have 3 Digital boxes/TVs alone, but I am not 3 people.
Ever consider that you guys just live in an area that's a little ass-backw... er, a little slow on the uptake? Or that you don't have very tech-savvy friends?
Literally every single person I know has switched. I'm talking *at least* 50 out of 50 friends. I live in an area with relatively high average incomes (New York City) although none of my friends are what you'd call "rich" (and neither am I).
So if I was going to be like you guys and believe my own personal experience over a large study of the entire country, I'd have to say their numbers are obviously too *low*, right?
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

I totally agree with that. Not many people I know, have switched.
Current RCA CRTs (non-HD) are f'ing fine digital sets.
From personal experience, CRT TVs are the only good consumer products RCA/Thomson makes to this day.
Yup. RCA/Thomson really need to move on.
Yup. Totally agree.

Anecdotal evidence ftw!

You only have 50 friends?
50 friends is a reasonable amount, if not a lot, for an adult.
Hate to break it to you Abuzar, but if you have more than 50 friends, they're not really your friends.
Also, requesting friend adds on myspace doesn't count.
