Unfortunately, it's tough to quantify picture quality. So they get an lcd... they can say it's 1080p. <br><br>A lot of people I know buy an lcd because it is flat and cheap. Which somehow means to them state of the art. It's really all about the bling factor. Who cares if the pq is crap, it's hanging on the wall!<br><br>That, coupled with the inherent absurd confusion of HDTV (I'm pretty knowledgeable, and I still get confused), and it's easy to see why LCD is winning.<br><br>Personally, I'd really like to get a plasma. But I need a 56" or bigger... so it probably won't happen. And plasmas suck energy like there's no tomorrow... not too happy with the idea of paying an extra 20/month in electricity.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rip]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 25th 2007 3:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LCD sales holding strong, plasma sales sinking lower]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/24/lcd-sales-holding-strong-plasma-sales-sinking-lower/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/24/lcd-sales-holding-strong-plasma-sales-sinking-lower/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think that a plasma screen has a better picture in the ideal conditions, but how many people have a home theater that blocks out all light?  My living room has a lot of windows, so LCD made sense because of the matte screen.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shawndc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 25th 2007 9:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LCD sales holding strong, plasma sales sinking lower]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/24/lcd-sales-holding-strong-plasma-sales-sinking-lower/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/24/lcd-sales-holding-strong-plasma-sales-sinking-lower/</guid><description><![CDATA[It really boils down to size. With an anticipated 50 million HD displays in homes by the end of 2008 it can be assumed that the majority will be for home theater use.  To me this means 50+ and in this area LCD is not only lacking in quantity but also remains very costly for the majority.  Right now 52" seems to be the limit and many will desire something bigger.  Even though Vizio will be offering a 52" for $2K street price there is a huge market for the 55"+ and plasmas are the only game in town for flat panels.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andy Sullivan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 25th 2007 1:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LCD sales holding strong, plasma sales sinking lower]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/24/lcd-sales-holding-strong-plasma-sales-sinking-lower/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/24/lcd-sales-holding-strong-plasma-sales-sinking-lower/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is proof positive that consumers don't buy based on what they see, but what they read.  LCD is touted online and in magazines as the latest and greatest in video display technology.  There was a study written about on this site where people overwhelmingly chose the picture quality of plasma over LCD when side by side.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kcjones]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 25th 2007 11:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on LCD sales holding strong, plasma sales sinking lower]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/24/lcd-sales-holding-strong-plasma-sales-sinking-lower/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/24/lcd-sales-holding-strong-plasma-sales-sinking-lower/</guid><description><![CDATA[if you need some data backing up this - look at the 42" level price trend comparison between LCDs and Plasmas]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shelly]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 28th 2007 6:12PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
