According to DisplaySearch President and CEO Ross Young, "The TV industry and HDTV infrastructure are undergoing rapid change for many reasons. 1080p resolution is becoming widely available on microdisplay RPTVs in Q3'05, prospects for a single next-generation DVD standard are improving, and HDTV set prices are reaching new lows. At the same time, there is significant uncertainty, so this is an ideal time to bring all aspects of the TV industry together to discuss the future of television."
