In Reply to: HDTV Plasma Screen Price Discounting? posted by AbeCollins on January 27, 2003 at 17:33:01:

I think this year is the year that some real price reductions will be seen in Plasma prices, especially in the 42-50 inch range. I would continue to shop in order to maintain a feel for what is a good price but I think later this Fall you will get the best deals. Next year will be even better but who wants to wait?
I say this only based on the way most new electronic techs have been introduced over the last 30 yrs. The next couple of years will represent the breakthrough years for plasma mass production and sales.
Also, but very telling, is the way Best Buy placed their display of plasmas just before the holidays so that everybody who came in had to see those screens. The prices were high but the public was being introduced to the clarity of those wonderful screens.
