RE: Plasma run hotter then lcd's ?

Posted by Hornlover on July 29, 2009 at 08:22:27:
The heat issue is not a problem. My Panasonic 50" is warmer than an LCD, but not by much. I think the heat issue is a bit overblown. It certainly will NOT heat up your room. The Panasonic is fan cooled (you cant hear the fan while in front of the set, you have to put your head behind it to hear it at all). As far as plasma being phased out, Im not sure I would write a death certificate yet. Both Pioneer and Panasonic are not ready to pull out of the plasma market (Panasonic just opened a 2.4 billion dollar plant to make plasma sets). It seems that they think when a buyer shops based on image quality, they end up selecting plasma. I agree. Even the best LCD types, though they have a lot of good qualities, still cant give the same image quality as a plasma.
