absolutely positively correct.

i would never suggest that my OPINIONS are the only right ones in the world. i'd rather someone disagree with me civilly than agree with me and talk trash about someone with a different opinion's ancestors.

this post was about plasma reliability, and i shared my views on the subject. without ever owning a plasma screen, i can't say emphatically that they will break, but i don't trust them based on what i've observed.

for every opinion, there's an opposite. if your plasma screen is working 100% and you're happy with it, here's to hoping that it stays working 100% for many years to come.

i'd rather settle on a smaller 34" direct view CRT for better contrast, viewing angles and zero motion artifacts. if someone were to give me a plasma screen, i wouldn't throw it out, but i'd never buy one. just adding my two cents on the subject. i view plasma, LCD and DLP as a gamble while CRTs are tried and true.

i'm still waiting for the next technology that will be thin screen like plasma, but use phospors like CRTs in a hybrid. i forget what the technology is called. i haven't heard anything about it in a year or two at least.
