Panasonic isn't abandoning plasma just yet. They just unveiled their new line of plasmas at CES 2008 today. They will be hitting the stores this spring:
So why would anyone buy one of this year's Panasonic plasma HDs if their own company will have new technology by next year. I have an LCD and it's black enough for me. There never was anything wrong with old analog CRTs-besides size. The industry was stagnant and needed a whole new system to lead all of us to the "sheeple trough"; so they could extract more of our money. Built in obsolescence is the new model for all electronics.
This is good news.
This just means that the HDTV's out on the market now are going to go for next to nothing, and I see nothing wrong with these HDTV's on the shelf right now.
So Sharp, Pioneer, Samsung, and everyone else, keep it coming with these ultra-slim-free-HD-self-mountable-ps3&360-built-in HDTV's !
Cost is one thing but i feel that the heat that this would generate will be still too hot. They need to work on that not just working on the light force but rater the heat that the light generates. More like increase fans or something like that.
