TV sets in general and digital TV sets in particular are going flat. In many countries, even some of those with digital terrestrial broadcasting, flat panel TVs are the only digital TVs available. Even so, many are not shipping with integrated DTV tuners. Only in Japan and the US, where tuner inclusion is mandated, are millions of TV sets shipping with integrated DTV tuners.

Price declines in LCD and plasma TVs will ensure their popularity around the globe over the next several years as they become more affordable for consumers. Microdisplays will replace CRTs in rear projection TVs, as manufacturers want to offer higher resolution 1080p RPTVs. DTV IC vendors are making moves to ensure they have all the necessary technologies as DTV functions are integrated onto fewer ICs.

The DTV set report provides five-year unit shipment, ASP, and revenue forecasts for LCD, plasma, rear projection and CRT TVs by region. Bill of Materials for ATSC and DVB-T tuners are provided, as well as for a 32-inch LCD TV. The report also includes the results of our February 2005 US Technology Adoption Panel DTV set survey.
