In Reply to: Plasma sucks! posted by Joe Murphy Jr on April 22, 2003 at 20:34:58:
Hey Joe, thanks for the props, bro."I liked Panasonic so much, I bought the company!" That'll be me :-)
It's too bad none of AA's anti-plasma crowd are showing up to see the screen-shots. I was curious what the "Plasma sucks" guys would think of the photos. I remember one fella writing "Plasmas are junk...I wouldn't take one if it was given to me."

I remember one fella writing "Plasmas are junk...I wouldn't take one if it was given to me."It's kind of you to mention him as just a fella rather than a blithering idiot... a free plasma? Yes, I'd take it! I might resell it, but...
Honestly I think plasma displays look excellent, but the price tag associated with them is just too high for me to consider. Then again, I've never believed in "excellence at any price". I've always leaned more towards the best I could afford. I also still have a soft spot for CRTs. But I'm also very interested to see how the LCD panels develop over time.
Does anyone remember something that came up in either the mid or late 80s called micropoint? I recall reading about it in Popular Electronics or Popular Mechanics. They were trying to develop something to compete with LCD was back then that would be both lighter and brighter. It consisted of thousands of tiny cones whose tips would light up in red, green, or blue (I think they were dedicated color cones, but I'm not 100%). It was supposed to be lighter and thinner than anything else that was being worked on, even claiming that this could be made so that the whole screen could be rolled up for storage if needed without damaging the unit.
I haven't heard anything about it since, but at the time the report intrigued me. Anyone else have anything on that?
