Just when you thought LCD television sets have taken over households all over the world, do not be too sure just yet. It seems Plasma is still breathing, after all. That is, if we are to believe the latest figures a company has furnished to various news agencies.

While Panasonic expects demand for large plasma televisions to somewhat dip in the next two years, it still expects that it would hold steady after that at just about 30 percent of the total market for large, flat-screen televisions. They noted plasma currently has 40 percent of the aforementioned market.

It has been noted by many that plasma gives better picture reproduction because it is self-illuminating, compared to LCD, which has to be backlit. But plasma’s share of the flat-screen market has hit a downward spiral. Still, the company sounds optimistic. Well, let us wait for the final verdict come 2009.
