Pixelthis maybe was right after all

[Smokey]

You probably know Pixelthis and his infamous "Plasma is dead" thread which was a riot. But time might have proven him right

With new TV technology OLED HDTVs hitting the stores and price dropping as production increases, Plasma TVs indeed might be nearing the end. OLED offer all the advantages of Plasma (contrast, color, viewing angle, judder) and non of disadvantges (bulky, power consumption, dimness).

Plasma Is Dead

Tubes and vinyl are dead also, as per Pix.

Vizio is a top tier TV. That was another good one.

It will be a while before plasma is dead. The price of OLED's and 4K sets are high and it will be a while before they come down in price to compete with the middle of the road Panasonic ST series plasma's, or the best LED TV's. For the average Joe, even $1k for a TV is a lot of money.

By the way, then new Samsung 8500 series plasma's are bright enough to use in bright rooms. Their pictures are fabulous, on par with the Panny VT and ZT series but they have brighter pictures. And after a couple of years the top of the line SS and Panny Plasma's will come way down in price.

He was definitely right on that one

4K TV prices already dropping big time as Chinese (such as Seiki) getting involve in manufacturing them. And I am guessing it will also happen with OLED TVs if they get involve.
