LCD TVs are the Hot Holiday Item

LCD televisions have officially surpassed digital cameras as this years hot holiday gadget. If the price drop that everyone believes is coming happens, it might stay that way for a while as well.

"Clearly, price was a huge driver this year, and availability," Baker said of the LCD TV surge. In addition, LCD TVs spread to the more lucrative 30-inch-and-larger category, which plasma and rear-projection TVs previously had had largely to themselves, he said. A total of 1.3 million LCD TVs shipped in the holiday season, he said.
