January 8, 2007Panasonic loves plasma to death
Panasonic today spent about half of its press conference talking up plasma technology for flat panel TVs.
The company not only tried to dispel some of the evil lies that the competition is spreading about plasma (allegedly plasma doesn't have issues with images burning into the inside of a display since the first generation technology; its 60,000 hour life is considered sufficient for event the most extreme TV junkie and it has enough of a future road map.
Plasma furthermore is more environmentally friendly and is less stressing on the eyes, said some professor from Japan.
"Bottom line is that the plasma solution is the better [one] for everyone," hyped Atsuya Makita, general manager for business planning for Panasonic AVC Networks Company.
Plasma might have several things going for it, but in the end of the day it will never be able to catch up to the production volume that LCD is achieving with the help of the notebook and monitor business. The fact that the company is now starting to defend its technology just proves plasma is in deep trouble.
Makita takes a shot at defending his fortress
