Consumers pursue value, not cheap. American consumers are also obsessed with reliability/longevity. The plasma display coalition needs to buy airtime reasuring consumers that Plasma is a more mature display technology than LCD, has just as long, if not longer panel longevity, and offers the best picture quality. Add this to its cheaper price compared with LCD of the same size, and consumers will see value in Plasma technology.
so far the only smart one here is kcjones; he likes the dead and knows his stuff about plasma. The rest of you guys-life span=Plasmas have an excellent lifespan, do your research. Color dots???? I'm not gonna even touch that one, you have no idea of what a plasma is. I'm glad idiots like you will "take a lcd over plasma any day" cause your missing out of the best picture and havent got a clue.
If plasma wants to compete with lcd they have to lower there prices. I think this statement is a little backwards pal. Do some research instead of making ridiculous statements like that one.
Actually, American consumers are obsessed with bling and flashy buzz words and marketing numbers more than anything so they can brag to their friends. They would rather buy a 240Hz LCD with 4000x2000 resolution and a crappy picture than a 720p plasma with an amazing picture, which is why LCD is beating plasma in the market even though plasma is superior.
"There's a certain amount of dumbing down, to be sure, and nothing's going to beat your laptop for speed or comprehensiveness in bopping around this sort of information."
