While I agree that Plasma isn't dead yet, I don't believe it will be with us in the near future. Pioneer's Kuro line was brilliant (and can now be had for CHEAP) and there are some manufacturers still pushing plasma but I think the future is in LCD, LED and OLED. One product that does puzzle me a bit but looks great for the money is Vizio's new 36-inch and smaller plasma line. They've killed their 60-inch giant and gone small with their plasma offerings but the price points they're able to hit are once again astounding. Is plasma's future in smaller sets? Is plasma to become the new CRT of the flat panel marketplace?
