Plasma is DEAD

Just got this email from audioholic's


You heard it here first: Plasma TV is dead. As we predicted several years ago, plasma technology is on its way out. Putting one of the nails in the lengthy coffin is Pioneer Corp, who is stopping ALL production of plasma display panels. Last week we reported that they had decided to stop all 42-inch panel production, however that has now been expanded to its entire plasma line. Rather than panic, Pioneer shares immediately jumped to a four-month high following the report - up 11.2 percent. Pioneer is the world's fifth-largest plasma TV manufacturer and has constantly struggled for relevance against the larger Panasonic brand (Matsushita). Now, Pioneer will buy its panels from the competing brand and it will begin picking up LCD panels from... you guessed it - Sharp

I think what the article is trying to say is that Plasma is dead in general........not just Pioneer. The writing is on the wall.

I have to agree that over the next 10 yrs or less plasma will be gone. LCDs will become perfected and other technologies that are less expensive to produce and are more attractive to the consumer will take its place.

But for now I will just enjoy my 5010.
