Talked with some Zenith employees at the CES to learn that Zenith has completed the tooling to manufacture the first-generation 64" projection HDTVs and will begin manufacturing in August, at their plant in Mexico. Price about $10,000. No DBS partner for Zenith. Saw the Zenith demos. The larger the screen size, the more impressive. Clean out that spare bedroom and turn into a Zenith Home Theater! Zenith did have a pitch about their new relationship with Intel. Talked to one dealer who told me he just bought 1,000 Zenith 35" direct-view sets. He also is a big buyer of Zenith's 25" and 27" sets (highest sales-volume units). Zenith's Divx coming out in March, according to trade press.
