Interesting are the plasma/lcd sales above 40inch (90% of the plasma's that are

made are 40inch or bigger).

please not all plasma owners are remotely close to videophiles,one of the main reason plasma still sell is the cheaper price tag.

Cheaper price tag with better IQ....sounds like HD-DVD, or HD-CRT's when flat panels first came out.

Most people who buy lcd/plasma do not care about PQ.

Most people who buy lcd/plasma want it to be as cheap as possible.


In the bigger sizes plasma is CHEAPER,most people who buy a big flat

lcd/plasma will choose the CHEAPER plasma.

Sony would be #1 in LCD's if they would only price competitively.

I agree. I think they still have a strong brand reputation among the general public.

Quote:
Sony was the best performer in the US LCD TV market in the fourth quarter, with its share rising to 13.2%, up from 7.7% in the third quarter.


"Sony's strong fourth-quarter performance mainly was driven by its aggressive pricing and promotions for the Christmas season," Patel said. "Consumers were attracted by Sony's bundled deals combining LCD TVs with PlayStation 3 video game consoles and Blu-ray players."

See what happens when they price competitively and offer nice deals? Using the PS3 as extra incentive was a great idea. I hope they take this to heart and stay aggressive.
