In Reply to: Will plasma disappear as a display technology? posted by townsend on December 29, 2007 at 20:40:52:
Not for a long while.
There were only around 3 major manufacturers of plasma glass, so all the others - such as Sony and even Fujitsu were essentially OEM marketers. Fujitsu used Panny glass and Panasonic is still very strongly committed to plasma, as are Hitachi and Pioneer (and their new Kuro panels are gorgeous - they've taken over the top spot previously held by Fujitsu). There is the 10 lumen tech coming as well from the aforementioned three, plus plasmas are still better sellers at the 50" and above sizes.
Sony in particular is banking on their properietary OLED technology to be something special for flat anels in the future - that's a typical strategy for them. Plus RP is dead or dying as far as consumer appeal. As is so typical of these sorts of trnasition, RPs are great bang for the buck. But they're not as sexy as thin panels. And OLED has a ways to go.
I feel the same about it as you. The blacks are getting better on the best LCD flat screens but the blacks and especially the shadow detail have a long way to go to surpass plasmas, much less CRTs. I can't live with the motion blur on the budget LCDs either. The shadow detail alone is a deal killer for me.
I wouldn't worry about buying a plasma in the least. Buy the display that looks best to you.
