Is Plasma Done For?

According to an article on newtevee.com, Plasma may be done for.  I hadn’t even realized there was a format war, but there you go:  it appears as though LCD has won.  The final nail in the coffin was that Pioneer has decided to get out of TV making.

From the site:

“Fast-forward to the start of 2009, and LCDs were outselling plasmas 8-to-1 globally, and the dominating the best-selling lists on Amazon.com.”

And this:

“Both Hitachi andVizio had to end the bleeding by shuttering plasmas to concentrate on LCDs. And not even the usually flush holiday period buoyed TV companies to a safe financial landing: Sony, Panasonic, and LG all posted lower quarterly profits.”

While there still are Plasma makers out there, it appears as though this is a tipping point in the war.
