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+%!

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!

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 ...

P.S. Figures that pixie would get his "research" from a "drug run" to Walmart.

GEE, you outdone yourself this time, old fart.
You managed an entire post WITHOUT one SINGLE fact!
AT ALL!!!.
Tell ya what, you can paint that future paperweight of yours silver, use it as a mirrow to admire yourself.
