Buying Plasma or LCD....or Laser?
So like everyone else I went out on Black Friday, not at 4 a.m. but 3 p.m., hoping maybe I would find a few sweet deals left over from the hysteria of that morning. I went to Best Buy first, looking for a TV, and out of the three I wanted to purchase there, none of them were in stock. Go figure right. So I made one last attempt and stopped by Costco, which is a Wal-mart/Sams Club/warehouse of stuff, and I couldn't get the TV I wanted there either. After that I just decided to forget about the whole ordeal and instead convinced myself that buying a 50 inch plasma just wasn't going to happen today. What bugs me the most is that a year ago I bought a 27 inch Sharp LCD TV for $1000.00 and now I can get a 50 inch plasma for $300.00 more...grrrr. So anywho, like I said, I have had convinced myself that I don't need a plasma right now so I forgot about it. THEN, today I was roaming through random pages on StumbleUpon and found an article on the next new technology in TV's which is said to be the "plasma display killer". The Australian company Arasor International and its US partner Novalux say that they have developed the first laser TV which will be cheaper, provide better picture quality, and use less electricity than plasma TV's. Unbelievable! I could only find one picture of it thus far but they will soon be showing up everywhere in 2007, so I guess I'm not buying a plasma at all now...Thanks technology! =P
