My 50” plasma has come down 25% in price from what I paid last Oct.
Yeah, plasma is what I want given the combination of contrast, luminance and viewing angle. It beats out LCD.
I don’t know if I should hold out for a 1080p plasma though. There are a few available but they’re very expensive (ie $10,000). The XBOX 360 output is only 720p which would match the typical plasma resolution just fine.
However, when considering spending $3,000 or much more for a TV, you want some longevity!
There are some 1080p DLP projection TVs that are under $2,000 now. I’m almost starting to consider that as a “temporary” solution until one of these new technologies can replace plasma, LCD and DLP.
