Plasma TV outnumbered by LCD

  • Plasma TV suppliers outnumbered by the rival LCD camp, are expected to lose further ground as LCD TVs encroach on the 40-inch-class market, a plasma stronghold.
  • It is technologically difficult and often costly for plasma makers to give a full high-definition function to models with a screen size of less than 50 inches, while LCD TV makers are aggressively promoting full HD models in that segment although prices are generally higher.
  • In 42 inch segment, LCD TVs price coming down. By next year end, probably there will be no price difference between plasma and LCD TVs.
  • It is expected LCD TV prices to fall 30 percent or more in 2007, compared with a decline of 15 to 20 percent for plasma TVs.
