WELL, since my last thread received such "positive " response , just thought I would post an update on the next eight track tape player...PLASMA TV FORM FACTOR.
Saw a few 720p in Walmart during my last drug run, no 1080p.
Saw two 1080p in Sams.
They continue to cost more than LCD, makes sense, they cost more to make.
Sad development, DLP seems out the door.
Anyway there is news on the display wars, another nail in Plasmas coffin.
Its called LED.
This is an interim feature that will drive a stake into the heart of plasma for good.
As the death of RPTV and DLP demonstrate, peeps want flat MONITORS.
Well, the next best thang, LED backlights will help that greatly.
Not only do these promise a better black level and color purity than plasma, they promise a thinner screen.
As thin as a half an inch.
WHY IS THIN important? I dunno , but a LED backlight LCD looks impressive, and the picture is to DIE for.
THIS WILL BE UNTIL OLED gets its boots on the ground properly.
You can talk aboout a 30% increase in plasma sales, LCD still outsells it.
AND IN A YEAR or two, thin LCD sets with LED backlights, lasting even longer than models with flourescent models and more efficent, its gonna be all but over for plasma
No reason to buy one, amd if they cant compete now, just wait a year.
Its gonna be BLOODY.
Speaking of which, getcha brickbats, rotten tomatoes, etc ready.
Doesnt matter....
PLASMA IS DEAD!!!

I don't agree RR. I'm not a big fan of the Plasma is Dead threads other than they are cobbled together with anecdotal "evidence", ill-concived notions, and the ramblings of a guy with a vendetta against Plasma.
But I don't think that it is "Spam". There are plenty of threads that invite heated arguments. Are you going to close down every thread in speakers that are about wire? Or every thread in recievers that are pro-Bose, or Anti-Bose? If you don't like the topic or the host, don't post.

PLASMA IS DEAD!!!
And? What's your point?
Several years ago I bought a 52 inch Panasonic LCD Rear Projection TV... I knew full well at the time that the tech would not last, as the move was obviously towards ultra-thin wall mountable TVs.... But I bought the Panny anyway with no regrets.... The reason was simple: back then if I wanted a LCD Flat Panel, I would have paid the same price for a 32 inch one or a 37 inch Plasma as I did for the 52 Inch LCD projection... Since I could care less about mounting the TV on the wall, the Panny was a far better value for money...
My point is that it doesn't matter whether the TV tech will eventually be replaced... if it offers you what you want for your money, then buy it...

Whatchu talkembout Willis?...my neighbor bought a 42-inch 1080p Panny plasma yesterday for 8 bones.
AND IN A YEAR or two, thin LCD sets with LED backlights, lasting even longer than models with flourescent models and more efficent, its gonna be all but over for plasma
No reason to buy one, amd if they cant compete now, just wait a year.

So, if you're in the market for a TV today you should wait a couple years for maybe LED to become viable. Of course by then you'll be advcocating that folks wait another few years for the ghost of OLED to be affordable without a government bailout. One can only imagine the havoc you'll wreak with the phrase "LED is dead.", all the while thinking it's clever.
Is plasma dying? Sure just like you and me, the WHO G64 and, apparently, the public school system. With a 30% increase in sales, a more affordable price tag, and a superior picture quality, plasma is more like the Southern Sea Otter, if we're gonna make Endangered Species list analogies. It's clearly the best buy unless your goal is to continuously rationalize a series of lowest common denominator purchases.

Gb, sorry, but you completely missed it. That was suppose to be a joke on the Pix. I was hoping my phony closed thread banner would cause everyone to pick up on the humor and simply not make any posts at all. That would have been the ultimate slam on Pix, not one post in response, would have sent him over the top, just complete dead silence would be the classic response. The spam remark was not seriuos but in response to his claiming that we are always spamming for plasma and Panasonic (get it?).

Oh boy, another PLASMA IS DEAD thread! Wassah mattah pixie, U not gettin' enuff attention at home that you gotta repeat yourself yet again? :rolleyes5:
Sounds like great news for Panasonic, Samsung, LG, and Pioneer, given that after the last time pixie declared plasma dead, plasma panel shipments GREW by more than 30+%! :lol:
In this economy, we should all be asking for our last rites from pixie -- we'd be gazillionaires by the time he's done spouting off! :out:
Pretty funny that pixie's harping on the price difference yet again, given that the sets priced competitively with 1080p plasmas are the 60 Hz CCFL-backlit LCD models that fall well short of the plasma sets' performance. Oh sure, the LED-backlit models might come down to the current plasma price levels in a year or two, but it's not like plasma TVs are a sitting target (that is unless you're like pixie and try to pass off 10-year old info about plasma TVs getting shipped in metal containers with 50% DOA rates)
Just last week at CES, Panasonic demoed a 0.33" thick plasma panel that reduces energy consumption by more than half, and more than doubles the maximum light output. Those sets are due out next year, while this year's new plasma lineup features a 1" thick panel that reduces average energy consumption by 30% while also boosting the maximum light output. Expect similar announcements from Samsung and LG. Dead technologies should all be this robust ... :cool:

GEE , a highly intelligent, well thought out rational post!
Sure you are in the right place?
Actually I posted this thread for a reason, mainly that a big improvement in PQ in
LCD sets is about to happen.
The main reason plasma fanboys give for buying a plasma is PQ, they
JUST DONT GET IT.
You need mass sales to make a form factor work, and to most teh dim picture of a plasma far outweighs the very dim picture.
And now with LED backlight starting to get produced PQ will increase substantially.
There are those, like me, that like the LCD picture already.
Plasma is dim, undefined, soft focus CRAP IMHO.

PANASONIC EXPANDS ITS AWARD WINNING LINE OF VIERA® Plasma HDTVs
Enhanced Features and Screen Sizes, Brighter Panels, Deeper Blacks And Full-Time 1080 TV Lines of Motion Picture Resolution Highlight 2009 VIERA Plasma HDTV Product Lines
Las Vegas, NV (January 7, 2009) – Panasonic Corporation of North America (NYSE: PC), the industry leader in high definition Plasma and LCD televisions, introduced its expanded line of VIERA HDTVs at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show. Building upon its award winning portfolio of high definition televisions, Panasonic will broaden its offering in 2009 by introducing new screen sizes in both Plasma and LCD lines with a new 54-inch class plasma and 19-inch class LCD. In addition, VIERA will extend its unique technology features, such as the acclaimed VIERA CAST™ web menu, to additional model lines.
VIERA CAST, originally launched in 2008, will broaden its entertainment offering with the addition of Amazon’s VOD streaming video service. Panasonic also extended the prestigious THX® Certified Display to three product lines. With a continuing emphasis on improving the television’s performance and reducing the impact on the planet’s carbon footprint, Panasonic’s 2009 line of VIERA HDTVs have improved their energy efficiency vs. last year’s models, while also improving the overall picture performance of the HDTVs.
Year after year, Panasonic has been dedicated to bringing new picture improving technologies to HDTVs and 2009’s line-up continues that trend. With the digital transition on the horizon and an increased awareness among consumers of high definition, consumers now demand blacker blacks, faster response times and the billions of colors that Panasonic VIERA HDTVs deliver.
In 2008, Panasonic offered one VIERA HDTV series that had innovative internet enabled VIERA CAST feature. In 2009, it will be extended to three series – The Z1 series, the V10 series and the G10 series. In addition to the continuation of such favorite entertainment sites as Google’s YouTube™, Picasa™ Web Album, Bloomberg and weather service; a consumer will now have an access to HD movie rental via Amazon Video-on-Demand. Panasonic has also improved VIERA CAST interface by implementing quick keyword input (like a cell phone) to help retrieve favorite content faster and easier. Panasonic HDTVs VIERA Link - a technology that utilizes HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) and allows a consumer to operate all VIERA Link™ compatible A/V components using only the TV’s remote control and helpful on-screen menus. In addition to operating a VIERA HDTV, video source (Blu-ray and DVD player) and home theater receiver; VIERA Link permits operation of a network camera, ideal for monitoring of a home/nursery*. A VIERA Link capable Network Camera BL-C210A can be connected to a VIERA HDTV and controlled via VIERA Link remote. Users can then watch their child, pet and/or property by installing the camera and networking to the VIERA HDTV via Ethernet cable. The BL-C210A will be available in the United States in the summer of 2009.
As in 2008, all Panasonic VIERA HDTVs feature VIERA Image Viewer™ a function for easy viewing of digital still photos and in some models, the ability to play back AVCHD video recorded on SD card.
For 2009, VIERA Plasma HDTVs are rated, as in 2008, to have a lifespan of 100,000 hours. This is more than 30 years of viewing when watched for 8 hours a day, before the TV reaches half brightness. To further improve picture quality, VIERA HDTVs feature some breakthrough consumer innovations like 600Hz Sub-field Drive and Infinite Black panel with improved contrast ratios. In 2008, Panasonic offered VIERA HDTV models that were THX certified and in 2009, the prestigious certification will be extended to 8 VIERA models (The V10 series and the G10 series). THX Ltd. works closely with Panasonic from initial product design phase to the final product rollout in the market. THX certification ensures that each display can present all HD and standard definition content to the maximum resolution with accurate color and luminance levels.
Panasonic’s commitment to improving the environment was confirmed this year as all of its 2009 VIERA HDTVs qualified for Energy Star certification. As in the past, VIERA Plasma HDTVs are lead and mercury free.
“Panasonic’s superior quality, connectivity and service continues to distinguish the VIERA line,” said Bob Perry, Executive Vice President, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. “Not only have our VIERA HDTVs received critical acclaim from consumer and trade publications, but Panasonic has maintained the market lead for the majority of the last three years. Panasonic has never rested on its laurels and the 2009 VIERA line continues that thinking. This year Panasonic has created the ‘Neo-PDP’ line with a brighter panel, double luminance efficiency, deeper blacks with improved contrast ratio and 1080 TV lines of Moving Picture Resolution. Our corporate philosophy of Ideas for Life is borne out by our attention to the consumer- to provide the ultimate entertainment experience in an easy to use format. That is why we have expanded our VIERA CAST feature and continued to improve the functionality of VIERA Link.”

When something is dying, manufacturers don't usually spend money on R&D, pay for very expensive liscenses from THX, or expand their features to more televisions within their respective lines. So we can all go back to our lives while more mouth than brains continues to make uniformed stupid predictions with no informational support whatsoever.

Wow, that's actually a substantial expansion of Panny's plasma lineup with two brand new series as well as a new 54" size. It doesn't even include the 0.33" thick plasma model that they demoed at CES.

It doesnt exist AT ALL, it is totally MADE UP.
A TEST PATTERN is the only reconized way to measure resolution,
everything else is conjecture, kinda like those numbers you cook for the govt they have NO

And 60hz is also the standard, as TV is 60 fps.
A 120HZ SET DOUBLES that frame rate, a 24p blue player puts out 72(24fps times 3)
in order to eliminate 3:2 pulldown.
If a set advertises anything higher its just a con, it wont give you any resolution increase,
its impossible to get any res increase in a video pic without an expensive scaler.
You do get an increase in PQ by deinterlacing a pic(480i to 480p, or 1080i to 1080p) but that is just because you are doing away with interlacing.

Yep, that's why all plasma TVs use 60 Hz as the native screen refresh rate. Low motion resolution is not an issue with plasma TVs, so they don't need to go with 120 Hz or 240 Hz. The Pioneer plasmas have a native 72 Hz mode to handle 1080/24p signals.
A 120HZ SET DOUBLES that frame rate, a 24p blue player puts out 72(24fps times 3)
in order to eliminate 3:2 pulldown.
That's not all it does. Most 120 Hz sets use interpolated images to fill in the gaps between frames. That's why some reviewers think that 120 Hz motion interpolation makes the picture quality look worse -- every other image is something fabricated by the video processor. Now, with LCD manufacturers going to 240 Hz and 480 Hz screen refresh rates, upwards of 75% to 87.5% of the frames are no longer native to the source.
If a set advertises anything higher its just a con, it wont give you any resolution increase,
Yet, 120 Hz LCDs routinely outperform 60 Hz LCDs on motion resolution tests.

Even IF a set has this rediculously high refresh rate it would be of no practical value.

Uh, let's see ... correcting your many factual errors and basically exposing your posts for the troll fodder that it is?
I deny that there is such a thing as "motion resolution" and anybody with ANY electronics training whatsoever will deny the same thing.
Right, so all of the LCD and plasma TV manufacturers who are touting the improved motion resolution of their latest TVs don't have "any" electronics training? :rolleyes:

who spent 30 years as a PR hack working for the people trying to push plasma tv
down the throats of an unsuspecting public in order to pay for a stupid investment in a new plasma plant.

Blah blah blah. So that explains why CNET, Home Theater, HDTV Test, and other review sites use the same motion resolution test. Face it, this is now a standard benchmark test that's very commonly used. And gosh, some LCD TVs have actually begun to perform well on that test.
And like I keep asking you. If Gary Merson is such as plasma hack, then why does he maintain a list of recommended LCD TVs? Basically, you bought a cheap LCD TV and will manufacture whatever lies you can come up with to smear anybody who points out the drawbacks of making the choice that you did. No need to take it personally when the facts don't coincide with your fanboy rants. :out:
a test pattern is a still image dillweed, how do you measure something moving with
a still image.
With a monoscope test pattern.
There has been several tries at coming up with a valid and consistent way of measuring
resolution during motion, but no sucess so far.
Name some of these "several tries." Otherwise, we'll just chuck this into the pile with the rest of your unsubstantiated BS.
The rest is, as SAMUEL CLEMMENS said, "lies, damn lies, and statistics".
And then there's reality and pixie's warped interpretation of it.
Its not an "issue" with LCD sets EITHER.
KEEP MAKING STUFF UP, IN the end reality biting you in the ass will still
hurt like a b***tch
How would you know? Because you're the one getting bitten by reality most of the time?
Those "interpolated" images are not made out of whole cloth, they are derived from actual frames.
And interpolated images are not the same as actual frames. With these new 240 Hz LCDs, now 75% of what the viewer sees is an interpolated image.
This is not a problem, expensive scalers were doing this well a decade agao, and now new tech makes the price cheaper
Cheaper, but not better. So, if LCD tech did not have motion resolution problems, then why would LCD TV manufacturers even bother with 120 Hz screen refresh? And why would they advertise that 120 Hz improves motion if no motion is lost with 60 Hz LCD TVs as you claim? All plasmas are natively 60 Hz because they don't need motion interpolation to smooth out the motion.
Are those the same made up POS "tests" you are talking about above?
120hz SETS ARE GOING TO LOOK BETTER, there is more info on teh screen at any given time.
So that explains why the 60 Hz Pioneer plasmas are currently the most highest rated HDTV on the market? :lol:
AND FOR THE LAST TIME, the "motion res" is going to be the SAME as the still res,
How many times are you going to say "FOR THE LAST TIME"? :lol:
YOU are the one with an "agenda" not me, and deinterlacing has NOTHING to do with "motion res" since that DOESNT EXIST.
Actually, YOUR agenda is quite clearly all about promoting plasma. Your rantings about plasma and LCD are so over-the-top insane and repetitive that no one can take it seriously!
I guess you think that repeating a lie often enough will make people beleive it.
Now where have I heard THAT before?
Nah, you're the one that actually believes this, given that how much you practice on this board.
price does matter to any intelligent consumer,
And nothing else matters to the pixie consumer.
I do trade TV sets quite often, but my last one I had three years, and I TEND TO know those who get my older equipment(it sells easy, they know what I buy)
And that just makes your rantings about durability and reliability all the more hypocritical, since you don't even bother to keep your TVs long enough to find out how blind your fanboy devotion really is.
So its important to have a set that will last, it might be one I keep awhile, and longetivity
also plays to quality, but of course you dont know that(or much of anything)
Right, so that explains why you bought a TV from a company with an inconsistent track record for reliability, and was imposing extraneous $500+ charges for boxing and shipping on warranty service when you first bought from them.
Panasonic has high reliability, which is why I have bought several of their products,
but they are not miracle workers, not even they can turn a turd into a mercedes.
Yeah, they're not miracle workers. They just make TVs with the lowest failure rate in the industry, and back it up a solid track record for customer service and spare parts availability.
as you will find out
Hopefully the hard way:1:
Why? Because your misery loves company? No thanks.
I'm not the one that bought a disposable TV. Maybe you will find out "the hard way" when your TV needs a part that nobody can locate, or your beloved fanboy company wants to charge you shipping for warranty service. But, I certainly wouldn't wish that on anyone, even a lying troll like you. :out:
