Rounding Up HD News: Black Friday Feels Impact of 2006 HDTV Sales
Black Friday sales increased 8.3% this year, but holiday shoppers spent 3.5% less per person, according to TVPredictions.com. The National Retail Federation reported that 147 million people went to stores on the day after Thanksgiving, a 4.8% increase from last year. The organization believes last year’s numerous sales of HDTV sets ate into individual spending this year, because consumers were looking to buy less expensive items now that they had their TVs. TVPredictions also noted that Comscore said online purchases were up 29% on Thanksgiving and 22% on Black Friday compared with last year.

Web users interested in viewing the map can visit lima.usgs.gov or lima.nasa.gov.
