On the cutting edge
«~» 'PRICING' The only indicators are statements issued by Canon and Toshiba representatives.
- Most indications are relative to an equivalent size Plasma screen.
- Though even hazarding a guess at what the price of a 55" Plasma display will be at the back end
of 2007 is a feat in itself considering the rate at which Plasma and LCD prices have been falling.

«~» The first stages models of mass production will debut at 55-inches, will have a contrast ratio
of 100,000:1, will have a 1- millisecond response time, will support 1080p and will consume a
third of the power of an equivalent sized plasma panel.
«~» Yoshihide Fujimoto, CEO of Toshiba's Digital Media Networking Company :
"Theoretically, prices for SED can be much lower than plasma"
«~» Fujii describes the SED TV's picture quality as "having more potential than any other TV
panel technology," and expects the pricing to receive "a 10-20% premium over the price of PDP
and LCD TVs." - Yoshihide Fujii, Senior Vice President of Toshiba Corp.
«~» Ryohei Takahashi, Merrill Lynch analyst :
South Korea's Samsung Electronics is aiming to get the price of a plasma set down to $20 per inch
by 2008. That would mean $1,000 for a 50-inch TV.
«~» Alejandro Arango, Toshiba spokesman ;
Pricing still is unclear but is likely to target high-end consumers thirsting for the crispest resolution
they can get on a flat-screen. Its is going to be a premium price, he says. It will be the best
thing out there.

«~» Now who knows what will happen down the road for 'PLASMAs' 'LCDs' manufacturers.
They will work harder to improve their products and/or
. . . we just might see 'PLASMAs' and 'LCD's' as the 'Toy of the Month' at Mc Donald's or why not in a
'Kellogg's Mega Size Cereal Box !'
Just Kidding ! . . in a 'Regular Size Kellogg's Box !'

«~» All the readings I've done recently with all the advantages that comes with 'SED TV's' (even if
they had a few bugs with it) the demand will be from it's beginning.
So we just might see them in '08-'09 Newell's.'
