plasma is DEAD...part deux

[bobsticks]

They continue to cost more than LCD, makes sense, they cost more to make.

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.
Its gonna be BLOODY

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.
