Plasma vs. LCD: The Battle Heats Up
http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/content/jan2007/gb20070117_754438.htm
"President Lee Sang Wan, in charge of Samsung's LCD unit, predicts consumers
will be able to buy a 50-in. LCD TV next year at the price of a 40-in. set in 2006."
"All major plasma TV makers, including Matsushita, Samsung, LG, and Pioneer
are due to bring out 50-in. and bigger sets in the 1080p standard this year.
With LCD TVs expected to focus on the highest definition resolution in the segment,
plasma could also sell TVs with cheaper HD 720p resolution
-good enough for many viewers, Seo points out.
