I was in a "high end" video store this past weekend in Florida where they carry Elite, Samsung LCD's, Mitsubishi and Sony. The sales manager told me that the Samsung rep told him that Samsung was getting out of the plasma business in 2009 and would focus on LCD. I have to admit, the way they had the Samsung set up, except for the slight blurr in quick movements, the black looked deep and it blew away the Mitsubishi.


Has anyone else heard this "story". I was not sure why he was telling me this when he was still pushing the Elite as the best picture in the store.

This could be true because they want to focus on OLED starting 2009-2010

No Samsung products for me right now until they do justice to their homeland.

Next year seems a bit soon. Reading the article, at the earliest I would expect 2012. That's not too far away.

The most interesting part of that article, IMO:


"Chung added that Samsung intends to have a flexible OLED display out the door by 2012 "at the latest."

I don't doubt that it will happen but next year may be pushing it. Did anyone see them unveil any new Plasmas at CES.

2012 eh? Maybe the Mayans really were on to something.
