Will Plasma and LCD TVs become Outdated?

In a word, “NO”, in a couple of words, “probably not”. Bill Gates once said that computer networking would never catch on. So who am I to predict the future of Plasma TVs?
But I can look at the history and development of the TV and it is quite clear there is an obvious trend. Bigger, clearer, louder, more real. The TV quite simply is trying to catch up with the cinema. And if you consider the availability of HD in the home and the surprising lack of it in the cinema then TV is doing a good job at catching up.

Next consider the advantages of plasma over LCD and it becomes apparent that out of the existing technologies plasma is the most likely to continue the race against cinema. Of course there are always new technologies but at the time of writing there is nothing in even the first cycle of development to challenge Plasma to be the main contender.

The only future vision that could be bleak that I can imagine is one caused by environmental issues. The huge amount of energy needed to make a plasma display panel and of course use it would make it a potential target for 'extreme legislation' if the worst predictions about energy resources and the environment generally where to come true.

So even if a new technology is discovered tomorrow and assuming it has enough significant advantages over plasma to motivate someone to pour a fortune into it then plasma has at least a decade of development left. And I would like to conclude that if you take good care of it your plasma could have about as long. Laviva Online Store
