Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 42" Plasma TV (?)

[Stephen Sherman (sherman]

Did not look at the link but:
you don't need a tuner with a cable reciver or satilite receiver.
HDTV is not better than a computer monitor my 24" dell is 1920 by 1200 which 
is better 1080P/I
that HD delivers.
Pioneer has stopped making their own plasma tubes. can mean that plasma is 
on the way out or not.
I have a neighbor that his Pioneer plasma Died just after warranty expired.
Of course in electronics it is a crap shoot, remember Beta vs VHS more 
recently HDDVD vs Blueray I went with both the losers.
I bought 72" DLP which is probably going the way of Beta and HDDVD.

Good luck
Stephen
