Now that they've apparently bested Kuro, it's dead again. OLED isn't ready to take the helm, and there will be another technology gap until it is. Remaining stock of the nicer plasmas will double in price in 2015.
My take on this: Plasma technology is as good as it's gonna get without additional MASSIVE infusions of R&D funding, the provision of which makes no sense for the following reasons:
- OLED is clearly the successor technology to both plasma and LED
- TV manufacturers are ALREADY spending BIG TIME on OLED development
- current plasma technology provides a pretty fracking nice picture
- additional R&D expendures in the field of plasma technology would yield diminishing returns
That ZT60 is nicer than ANYTHING you could buy just a few years ago. As Jerry Seinfeld recently said: "Can't we have just ONE DAY where what we have is good enough?"
