I suppose EVENTUALLY Tubes as we know them now will be phased out. But how far into future are we looking at the Crystal Ball?? Noting the enormous majority of Tube owners in this country w/TV's lasting 10-15 years, not to mention they presently own smaller screens than 34". I'd say we'll be well into the next decade before this is all turned around in favor of Flat Panel Displays.
BTW, more Crystal Ball stuff... the really good Plasmas are selling for around $6000-$8000 for a 50"er. That's is well above the price point most folks are willing to pay now or in the near future. Prices are not falling as far & as quickly as some people on this Forum predicted.
