In Reply to: Why I didn't get Plasma this time around... posted by AbeCollins on June 20, 2003 at 08:55:43:
I think you had a question about the altitude situation a while back. I forgot about that.Samsung has recently put some big $ towards their LCD line. Early this year or late last year, they demoed a prototype LCD that was 52" (16 x 9). I don't remember the expected price (won't be cheap!), but I think they were shooting for a Q4 2003 or Q1 2004 release date.
LCD may be the way for you to go if you're planning on staying "in the clouds" (he he he). The Samsung I mentioned has the depth of a plasma -- from what I can tell. Also, Sony will be coming out with their new line of LCD displays in the fall. They've bumped up the size to 70" on their Grand Wega LCD (about $7k).
Of course, it's a bit pricey, but Toshiba has their new LCoS televisions. Expected in the fall are updated versions from last year -- a 57" and a 65". Last year's 57" sold for about $9k. One would hope that prices might come down, but who knows?
These designs (LCD and LCoS) may fit the bill regarding the high altitude "buzz" problem. Then again, they may not "fit the bill" regarding the financial issues -- buyer beware. Or, is that buyer be rich?
