Yup I guess it already is. Current market requirement I read was 2 million units for this before beijing olympics and another 2 million by year end.

At end of it what's the point of having that TV if you can;t watch standard Def satisfactorily on it (ok say tata sky or dish)?
What is the market size of people who buy TV only for watching HD?
LCD is riding on the HD bandwagon (Full HD LCD is cheaper than Full HD Plasma), but who needs those Full HD sets when there is hardly any Full HD content, and it's not going to change much in next 5 years (all media companies, incl your cable guy has to upgrade, thats a huge investment).

HD content should be available in India by the end of this year may be Q1 next year. There a few companies which are already testing it here at present.

And talking about detail and clarity, plasmas come in full HD too. So you need to compare apples to apples.
|
Yes they do but we should also compare them on price. Full HD plasma is much more expensive than the LCD counterpart.

And believe me those HD resolution on LCD is still hog wash. it's fine for static/slow moving images, but when fast motion is concerned, you get only about 1/3 of it visible, rest goes away in motion blurr. This is proven and there are now new measurements evolving for measuring resolution for motion.

It was hogwash a long time back. Like I said the new range expected to eb launched Q3 this year will change that.

These contrast numbers are dynamic contrast numbers and they are very much equivalent to PMPO of audio, i.e. they do not contribute much to picture quality
Talking about native contrast an LCD has 3000 range compared to 15000 for common plasma.
In fact pioneer has made a concept plasma model with infinite contrast ratio...

Yes but you are forgetting that plasma panels are much more reflective. If your watching in a dimly lit room this may be fine. but if it's a bright room the brightness contrast levels take a huge hit. LCD doesn't have this problem as the panel surface isn't reflective.

No offense, but You seem to be working for some LCD TV mfg company
it might help to put some disclaimer with your comments  |
Sadly I don't work for any LCD TV mfg. Just giving an insight into technical details for these. If I had to give a disclaimer it would then be for any consumer electronics device from cell phones to audio.

Yes Yes I have been waiting for it. Any news when is it coming and at what price...?
I am sure it will come before Beijing Olympics as Pana is sponsoring that. But still when...
|
Almost all brands are looking to launch their new range before the Olympics. I'm sure it should be out by then.
