    Fujitsu pulls the plug on Plasma[^] Japan's Fujitsu group said it will end production of plasma televisions, a technology which it was the first in the world to introduce commercially, due to lack of profitability

        Is LCD what every man and his dog is selling ? I took it to mean that there's so much movement on the bottom of the market that they had decided it wasn't worth staying in it.

          OLED appears to be the wave of the future.

            I understand that plasmas have a much short life than LCDs. Then again, it probably doesn't matter due to the way that technology is developing. Whatever you buy today will be obsolete in a a couple of years - if you're lucky.

              According to this[^] and this[^] the longevity is pretty much the same ~60K hours. Many of the supposed disadvantages of Plasma have been overcome in the past few years. LCD still has the advantage as a computer display, power consumption and at higher altitudes.

                Yeah like burn in? Not so. I regret buying a plasma due to the burn in issue.

                    according to the 2nd article In a new model plasma from any top tier manufacturer I would put "ghosting" estimates at an hour or more now (Ghosting can be "washed" out by displaying static gray material). Permanent burn-in I would put at more than 10 hours. How long ago did you buy your plasma and who made it? I came very close to buying a 50" Panasonic Plasma in November, but decided to wait to see what the new models look like when they are introduced at CES later this month.

                        For me longevity, power consumption (since I live in a country with 100% pollution free energy) and such are not big issues. What convinced me to go with LCD is the fact that Plasma flickers and I HATE flickering, since for some reason I am very sensitive to it.

                            Friends: Ooooh, nice plasma TV, Paul! Me: It's a freaking Sony HD LCD-TV, not a fekking plasma! Friends: Oh. Shame. Why didn't you get a plasma instead? They come in HD... Up until now my only reply has been a slow grating of teeth. Now I can send them your link. Thanks Chris.

                              no, but it does come with several recently retired CP Server farm hampsters that weren't .NET compatible :-D

                                Plasma is stupidly hot. It's a stupid waste of energy to watch a moving image with such heat as a by-product. And don't get me started on unnecessarily large screens..... Suffice to say that : If you buy a 150" screen for your home, you need psychological treatment, a less powerful car, a less powerful PC, and possibly penis enlargement. 'Should I be the one to say that you don't need it? Style guide never would profane that you don't need it.'
