Your Next TV – How About an LCD?
If you haven’t noticed, LCD TVs are coming down in price and going up in size. The demand for high-resolution displays is making a higher demand for LCD TVs versus their high-end counterparts, Plasma TVs. If you’re looking for a 42-inch or smaller TV, you should look at LCDs.
“This Christmas season probably is the last chance for (plasma TV makers) to promote 42-inch models. By this time next year probably there will be no price difference between plasma and LCD TVs,” Credit Suisse analyst Wanli Wang said.
Plasma and LCD manufacturer Chunghwa Picture Tubes (CPT) shut down its plasma TV construction to concentrate on LCD TVs.
“We cannot focus on two different products because of heavy capital expenditure. That’s why we had to choose one,” CPT Chief Financial Officer James Wu said.
Unless you are purchasing a TV over 50-inchs in viewable size, it’s better to purchase an LCD TV due to the high resolution at the 42-inch and smaller size versus plasmas in the same size range.
