RE: Projection, vs the rest

Posted by Avocat on October 10, 2007 at 06:43:49:

The big divide between LCD and plasma is probably screen size with plasma not going below about 42" and LCD becoming increasingly expensive as you go above 42". Rear projection most definitely has the cost advantage.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I have noticed these price differences. Can someone explain why a large LCD flat panel, but not a small one, would cost more than a plasma of similar size? This doesn't seem logical to me in view of the complex structure of the light emitting pixel structure of the plasmas and their heavy, relatively massive construction in large sizes.
