In Reply to: Will plasma disappear as a display technology? posted by townsend on December 29, 2007 at 20:40:52:

Plasma displays will be around for years to come, even though it faces stiff competition from LCD. The technology still beats LCD and DLP in rendering the more faithful image (only CRT is better) and costs less than LCD in the all important 50" and up category. You can expect minor break-throughs (less power consumption, half-brightness rated at 100,000 hours) for the next few years, with a major change every so often (ie, 1920x1080 screen resolution, Pioneer's Kuro line for black levels).

Sometime in 2008, look for Pioneer to release a 70"-75" model and the Panasonic/Hitachi collaboration to bring an 85" plasma to the consumer livingroom. If that's not big enough, Matsushita (Panasonic) recently announced that they'll be showing a 150" plasma at an upcoming electronics show.

The next step will arrive in 2009: it's called 10-lumen tech and will allow plasma technology to surpass CRT in black levels (it will be at least equal to and possibly better than SED) and drop power consumption and heat generation by several levels. Panasonic, Hitachi and Pioneer joined forces to make 10-lumen tech a reality.
