Bullcrap.
It uses incomplete information on panels shipped.
It also uses questionable figures on costs of displays.
Fry's is selling Toshiba 52" 1080p LCDs right now (4 HDMI inputs) for $1377 in-store. How does plasma compare to that? Oh that's right, not well.
Circuit City has a 50" plasma from samsung for $1099, it was a pretty easy search
Along with the CC reference by Adam, BB sells a Hitachi 50" for $1499 (and it's actually in stock, unlike your loss-leader Toshiba) I'd say it doesn't compare too badly.
What's more, the Toshiba is a 60Hz panel... not exactly the highest in performance...
I'm not just counting blowout weird deals here. CostCo was selling a 52" Westinghouse (1080P, 4 HDMI inputs) for $860 or so a few weeks ago.
I don't know how you checked stock on this Toshiba I mentioned, the deal I saw was in-store, not online.
Umm, I can buy a 50" 1080p Panasonic VIERA for $1500 on newegg right now, and that's with free shipping and no tax and it'll make that Toshiba look like the POS it is.
Oh, and if you check the most recent Home Theater Magazine 2008 HDTV faceoff, you'll see that the VIERA came in a close second right behind the mighty KURO. I don't even think they bothered testing a Toshiba LCD.
I didn't say anything about quality. I was talking about prices. If you didn't notice, most of the market doesn't consider quality.
"mighty KURO" give me a break. What do you need comparisons for, you've got marketing stuck in your brain.
