My favorite is the people who buy a DLP because they think they have to "recharge" plasmas every 5 years. Hope they can get that lamp replacement quickly enough...

While I like LCDs a lot, I hope that Panasonic carves out a great niche market for Plasmas. Their quality of picture is tough to beat (except maybe by Pioneer's plasmas), and that new glare-proof glass is very nice.]]>Aug 15th 2007 11:16AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/Aug 15th 2007 11:38AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/Oct 11th 2007 10:38PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/Aug 15th 2007 11:48AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/
I just bought a new Toshiba 42” 1080p for $1500, Vista MC looks great at 1920x1080 1:1 native on it. I don’t think I could achive the same with a PDP at any cost.

it was amazing and it also was really hard for us to loose a $25,000 plasma, but it was back to normal in no time, sooooo, I think those issues must be resolved by now, if it wasn't such a problem 4 years ago.]]>Aug 20th 2007 11:09AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/Aug 15th 2007 12:02PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/
Once LCDs get backlighting that's akin to the way plasmas light individual pixel/cells (thus eliminating the black level issues) then there's really no need for plasma especially when LCD is so much cheaper to produce.


Negative point with plasma for me though is 1080p is either non-existent or too expensive, they're too heavy, and I've yet to see one where the image is as pin sharp as an LCD (but yeah I've probably not seen one set up right, etc).]]>Aug 15th 2007 4:30PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/Aug 15th 2007 12:21PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/Aug 15th 2007 12:34PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/
All this talk about scaling back on Plasma production is because they can not compete on price with LCDs and for the average consumer LCD is "flat enough".

So many of them connect their Composite video to their LCD anyways and would not notice the difference in PQ in a plasma.]]>Aug 15th 2007 1:19PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/50" 1080p plasma market, the selections is meager and the prices are often the same or higher than comparably spec'd LCDs. A few of the only options that currently come to mind are the Panny TH-58PZ700U 58" and Samsung FPT6374 63".]]>Aug 15th 2007 1:54PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/Aug 15th 2007 3:39PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/
personally I would buy a plasma, but i cant because of burn in. Claim all you want, but im a gamer, and when i accidently leave a console on for 8 hours and come back (yes this has happened to me before) or fall asleep while playing games, I dont want to see my purchase ruined]]>Aug 15th 2007 10:27PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/Aug 16th 2007 12:54PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/15/what-does-the-plasmas-future-hold/

LCD is getting there, but it's certainly not there yet.

If you can live with 10.6" inches deep instead of 6" deep, then HD-ILA is definitely a hard to beat choice.
