I cannot wait for increased bandwidth and lower prices thanks to the competition. I heard that Verizon just upped the bandwidth of their FiOS service so they could stay competitive. Keep it coming!

Here are a couple of things I noticed at CES.

LCD's are getting better response times, and deeper blacks, while plasma technology is coming down in price, with larger screens available and deeper blacks.

I am a fan of plasma, but LCD is certainly getting more compelling as their price drops and response rates get better.

You will still see more LCD's with 1080p capability versus plasma. But that could be changing.

Samsung was touting a new filter in the glass to help deal with bright light (I.E. sunlight) affecting the picture.

I don't think so, <br /> Sony know that LCD has a limited life because<br /> of the response time, I have personally watched<br /> their top of the line BRAVIA 47 inch, and after<br /> about an hour of quick moving action, started<br /> feeling strain in my eyes due to the slow<br /> refresh rate, 8ms, even with the doubling of the frame rate to 120 hz, thats still way above<br /> SED, thats the reason Sony have resurrected <br /> their FED research, if you are going to make<br /> predictions for the future, then you must <br /> include SED!. interesting that there is not one mention of

their top of the line BRAVIA 47 inch, and after
about an hour of quick moving action, started
feeling strain in my eyes due to the slow
refresh rate, 8ms, even with the doubling of the frame rate to 120 hz, thats still way above
SED, thats the reason Sony have resurrected
their FED research, if you are going to make
predictions for the future, then you must
include SED!.

Honestly, I love 1080p for one reason . . . It drove down the cost of 720p displays!<br /> <br /> Questions re: HD displays: Will we get brighter plasmas in 2007, or LCD's with better blacks? Will LCD kill plasma, or vice-versa? Love the comments re: 1080p. Honestly, I love 1080p for one reason . . . It drove down the cost of 720p displays!
