Samsung has announced it will scrap plasma TVs
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-28143408 LG is expected to follow suit soon. Quote:
TrustedReviews website editor Evan Kypreos said: BIB - For me, picture quality is the most important consideration when buying a TV, but for many, it seems that a slim, sexy, stylish design is more important."It's not at all surprising that Samsung has dumped plasma. "The main issue is that it's very tricky to make [UHD] plasmas, and [UHD] is the future of big TVs. "While plasma is a lot better than LED/LCD TVs in terms of image quality, such as contrast ratio, and motion handling, it has a few drawbacks. "Plasma TVs can't be made a thin as LEDs, for example. People like stylish tellies." Can understand the reasons why manufacturers are dropping plasma, but it just seems a shame to me. |

'...it would instead focus on producing curved and ultra-high-definition (UHD) TVs. '
And selling them to mugs. Wider viewing angle my @rse. I'm glad plasmas are biting the dust. As a shortwave listener and radio amateur, I find the wideband racket they pollute the spectrum with intolerable. The guy two doors away got a plasma a couple of years ago, and since then my hobby has been seriously curtailed. |
