Plasma TV's End May Be Near

[Dr. A ♥ O 203]

So the Plasma is just not cost affective anymore for anyone even though their quality is superior. In the scope of their technological life spans their reality in the concept of things seems so brief.

Gone the way of Betamax, and Laser printers, I suppose.

laser printers? explain.

I have an old PB9800. I didn't know anyone still used a laser printer, other than me.

Pitney Bowes? The only thing I found on google was the toner - so yeah, yours must be old. But still confused. All companies I have worked for have laser printers, one of my printers is a new laser printer. What do you assume is used now since you are the one who stated laser printers are out.

Packerd Bell 9500, Laserjet II compatible. 20 years old. 300 dpi. I have not seen anyone else with a laser printer besides me, so that is what I based my assumption on. I have seen copier/printer/fax combos in commercial use, but not in personal use. Maybe I just don't get out often enough, but all I ever see are inkjets.

...a 42-inch plasma set can consume more electricity than a full-size refrigerator -- even when that TV is used only a few hours a day.

Not to mention that they'll heat up your house like a furnace.

Friend of mine can vouch for that. He acquired one from his MIL, says heat pours from the thing.

We've got a DLP and an LCD. DLP uses LEDs instead of a lamp so it uses less power plus don't have to change the lamp every 3 years. LCD has wider view, but DLP has better picture.

Umm, cheap TVs off of craigslist is the way to go. We got a big one for $30. It's big and if it falls on me I might die or be trapped under it....but only $30!!

Doesn't it depend on what you're projecting the image on? I went to someone's house who had a DLP and he was projecting it onto his wall. It just made everything on the screen appear flat to me.

No, Laura - it's not you....Mr. Bill lives like a hermit in the forest from what I've gathered. He mentioned floppy drives the other day and I just about fell to the floor.

Home laser printers are still in - amazon lists a bunch of them, though mostly in black and white for people who do a lot of high volume printing.

Inkjets are more popular with the home crowd because they're cheaper to buy (as are the refill cartridges).
