The future of plasma televisions is unpredictable as every product in the market fights for its existence. Various reports reveal about the fact that the plasma televisions would be banned soon. At the same time some reports reveal about its advantages in the market.
Advantages of Plasma TV
Plasma televisions were once regarded as the most expensive entertainment media. But in recent years, most affordable gadgets are also available in the market. Plasma televisions are the ultimate choice for those who wants to enjoy high definition television. With the development of plasma technologies, there is great chance for the plasma TV to survive in the market.
Newer versions of thinner plasma TVs are out into the market and we can expect even more thinner models. Frame less panel televisions are also expected to be released soon in to the market. Companies that are expecting to upgrade their technologies are trying to improve upon the other specs such as resolution, number of pixels and several other factors.
Price of the plasma televisions are also a major factor to decide between the LCD and plasma televisions. Large screen LCD televisions are more costlier than the large screen plasma televisions. Advanced plasma TV model was launched by Samsung with the plasma television as thin as 2.5cms. Wireless technologies and internet television were included in to the latest plasma TV models.
Based on a study, the growth rate of the PDP(Plasma Display Panel) have increased when compared to the LCD televisions. According to the senoir Vice President, John Revie, the plasma televisions provide better picture performance and greater value.
Disadvantages of Plasma TV
The major factor for the disadvantage of the plasma television are carbon emission and energy consumption. Plasma televisions emit great amount of heat to create a picture. A study confirms that the sales figure of the plasma television has slipped down when compared to the LCD TV.
There was an increase in the sales of the plasma televisions until the year 2003. But towards the end of the year 2004, the situation in the market changed completely. Gartner pointed out that the the growth of the plasma display unit was affected due to the lack of compatibility and competitiveness.
Many factors tell about the fact that the fall of the plasma TV is due to various factors such as the dropping prices of the LCD flat panels, the emergence of the thin LCD TV models, consumers view about the marketing and technology of the product and the investment that Panasonic will make in building new plasma TV models.
Conclusion
However a final conclusion cannot be drawn until there is going to be a proper statement for its decline. Let us hope the technologies are further improved to help plasma TVs survive in the market.
