USA Today: TVs are hotter than they’ve been in decades. Screens are getting bigger and brighter as they undergo their first major technological overhaul since the birth of color television in 1953. The highest-tech sets are so thin, they can be hung on the wall like a painting — and are vibrant enough to resemble one, too. Although early models have been in stores for more than two years, they’re just now becoming cheap and bug-free enough to go mainstream. To avoid plugging a clunky old VCR into these swanky sets, manufacturers are also coming up with new ways to serve up content, from portable TiVo-like boxes to cutting-edge DVD players.
