Plasma TV Prices Plummet

Don’t read too far into the title if you’re a plasma fan…LCD’s are still dominating the market (10 million compared to only 3.8 million of 40-50 inchers). And with arguably the best company for plasmas (Pioneer) leaving it behind, I’m not sure how long the rest of the manufacturers will invest.

Patel of iSuppli sees a prospect of short-term success, if manufacturers can continue to keep plasma prices lower than LCD prices. "Plasma’s focus will shift to 50-inch and larger sizes, where LCDs are still more expensive," he says. "Plasma will still have an advantage there for a couple of years."
