Panasonic Puts "p" In 1080p Plasma
Electronics | Jul 19, 06
While Sony and other manufacturers have of late walked away from plasma in favor of LCD and various DLP-like technologies, Panasonic has reaffirmed its commitment to these visually stunning but pricey panels. The latest evidence of this is the Elite 50'' PRO-FHD1, said to have just begun shipping. With over two million pixels (1920 x 1080) it offers full 1080p HDTV on a 50'' screen, at a suggested retail price of $10,000.
The long-term viability of plasma may well depend on the ability of manufacturers to produce larger sets at more consumer-friendly prices, as has been done for DLP and LCD (though in the case of the later rarely above this size). Panasonic's new model, though not cheap, is a step in the right direction, and its higher 1080p resolution, also rare in larger plasmas, could prove compelling if Blue-ray and/or HD-DVD actually catches on.
