9 Reasons We Should Save Plasma TV : Opinion: Plasma Is Worth Saving

The debate over whether plasma or LCD should be the supreme technology in the
HDTV business rages on with each passing day. But there’s one problem: more
companies than ever are jumping off the plasma bandwagon. In fact, Vizio–once
a staunch supporter of plasma–has opted to only produce LCD HDTVs and Pioneer,
widely considered the best plasma manufacturer, has also decided to get out of
the plasma business.

Does that spell the end of plasma? Perhaps. Panasonic is the last major
company to support the technology, and so far, none of the major LCD
manufacturers have indicated that they would ever want to produce plasma HDTVs.

I saw more benefits with plasma so we bought the Panasonic 50" screen
with the NeoPDP technology. We love it! I didn't want the worry about
dead pixels with LCD or the viewing angle problem either. Plus, this
panel offers 100,000 hours of viewing - AMAZING! The experts don't
want the average consumer to own this outstanding technology. PLASMA
RULES!

I need to use my panel as PC monitor too, so I wouldn't *touch* a plasma due
to the burn-in issues.

The new Neo PDP panels don't have that problem anymore. Plus, our TV
has the energy star rating. The picture quality is awesome!

You may not have that problem, but other LCDs do.

Even if Plasmas will no longer be produced, OLED technology is the future.

Unfortunately OLED is at least 8 - 10 development years behind LCD and Plasma.
It probably is as far out as flying cars and vacations to the moon.

Well, right now, a 4" OLED screen isn't worth $2,500 to me.

I guess not, since Sony's 11" model is only $2500.
