Where have I heard that before?
Anyway, click on the link for some info on what Panasonic has done with their new 6 series -- commercial -- and (possibly) consumer models regarding (former?) plasma weaknesses. Scroll down about 1/3 to the post by "Brucer". Some of the "tech talk" may be a bit tedious for some, but there doesn't seem to be any bad news (ie, it's all good!).
Also in that post is a bit of data about bandwidth for HDTV resolution. Look at 720p and 1080i. This should clear up any misconceptions about what rate is more demanding. It also means that 1080i native resolution displays won't do real justice to 720p signals, regardless of display type.
By the way, besides Samsung, Panasonic is rumored to be working on a BIG (70"+ ?) plasma. So are the folks at LG Electronics (71"). I don't see actual releases happening before fall 2004/spring 2005, but intense competition and increased PR might speed up the to-market dates.
Just to be clear, plasma isn't for everyone. And even those who feel plasma is right for them might not be able to integrate it into their setup or layout. Everyone's situation is different.
Now on to the news:
