Kurt Scherf, an analyst for Parks Associates, says that might not necessarily be the case because the next generation of televisions may have capacity for growth even after you take it home. "We're actually hearing this year that manufacturers are talking about the ability to upgrade the software on their sets," he says, "and I think that's a big step forward to know that the TV set you buy today is going to have and be able to support the features that we don't even know are coming two years from now. You really are buying a platform and I think that's the story of CES this year is the hardware is taking a backseat to things like software, content and applications."
