TV Sales Rise, Slim Chances for HDTV Before 2012

(Polish News Bulletin Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) The World Cup in Germany is proving particularly beneficial for Polish TV dealers. So far in June retail chains carrying TV equipment have experienced over ten-percent turnover growth. Additionally, viewers are becoming more interested in HDTV (High Definition Television) and LCD TV products.
