when do you think we'll see cheaper Plasmas?

I moved into a new house and I need something to replace my aging 27" Sony.
I want to get a plasma. I'd like to get a 50", but might have to get a 42"
for $$$ reasons.

Just curious, as to your best guess on when we'll see the price of plasmas
come down a bit? a HD 42" is in the $4100 range and a 50" is in the $6400
range.

Obviously there will be a premium over RPTV, but when do you suppose we'll
see a HD 42" GOOD plasma in the $2500 to $3000 range? I know there are some
in that range now, but they are the 853x480 ones. Waste of money....

A RPTV is not really an option because the room is too small.

Compare prices to two years ago. Do the math.

The local BJ's has a 42 inch for $2,999. Made by a Chinese company. As
long as people pay in the $4,100 range, the prices will not drop.

Wish I could remember what the technology was called, but a guy told
me he saw it demonstrated in Las Vegas last year, and was superior to
plasma, and cost, get this, about $800. It was at a TV-type
convention. I assumed that people in the business/on these groups
would have heard of it, too. Anyone?

Possibly OLED? (Organic Light Emitting Diode)

Also: Posting beneath what you are replying to is helpful, but would you
consider snipping out irrelevant pieces (like the crap above and below
what you are replying to)? It'd make your post easier to read, since now
your new content consists of 4 lines sandwiched in 50+ lines of old
stuff... kinda hard to spot
