The average connected home contains 2.4 mobile phones, 1.8 CRT TVs and 1.5 DVD players. Measured another way, 97 percent of homes have at least one mobile phone, 89 percent a DVD player, but only 82 percent a CRT TV. But those that do have CRT TVs tend to have more than one many older TVs are retired to children's bedrooms and elsewhere in the house.
The big movers over the last few years have been LCD, plasma and projector TVs, The proportion of Australian homes with such a TV has approximately doubled in the last two years, from 16 percent to 31 percent. The current figure is very close to the total proportion of households with a home cinema (29 percent) these groups largely overlap.
The number of households with a home cinema or theatre, either in a dedicated room or not, has grown to 29 percent from just 18 percent a year ago. Home cinema usage is growing at a faster rate than non-CRT TV usage an indicator that more households are opting for higher end configurations.
