Domestic travel is not normal plasma consumers should have a correct view

In recent years, the price of plasma TV all the way down, 42 inch plasma has fallen below the million. However, with the 40 inch LCD TV fell into ten thousand yuan, in order to maintain the relative price advantage, the plasma will face price cuts, consumers can be sold to be held. At the same time, the industry pointed out that domestic consumers have many suppressed plasma misunderstanding of plasma TV, LCD plasma will eventually be eliminated worry. In fact, there are advantages and disadvantages of plasma and LCD, plasma is also mainstream in foreign markets.

50 inch plasma price space

According to statistics, in the first 4 months of this year, China's LCD TV production was 1 million 871 thousand units, an increase of 181.4%, while the plasma TV production was only 172 thousand units, down by 16.1%. However, in the first half of this year, in 40 inches and above the big screen TV market, plasma TV market is still ahead, accounting for nearly 40% of the proportion. This is mainly because more than 40 inch plasma TV has a certain price advantage.

However, with the price of large LCD TV, before the kind of large screen LCD, plasma belongs to the camp belonging to the small screen camp "quite distinct from each other pattern is broken, especially with the 40 inch LCD Plasma fell million yuan, particularly the large size price trends significantly. This year 1 - May, 50 inch and 42 inch XGA (resolution 1024 x 768 and 1024 x 1024, Japan and South Korea have HD specifications specifications) a big price, which is 50 inches by 12 - 17%, 42 inch XGA domestic price decline has reached 16%. At the same time, according to the relevant research report pointed out that the global market 50 inch plasma price only about $3000, equivalent to less than RMB 25000 yuan, but Chinese market price has reached more than 39000 yuan, the price is up to more than 64%! 50 inch plasma has a larger price space.

The industry estimates that the 50 inch plasma panel at the end of this year the price will fall to about $900, while $900 will become a significant signal to expand the market. Because in the beginning of last year, the 42 inch VGA panel into a $900 after the beginning of this year, 40 inch LCD TV dropped to 900 dollars, the two dimensions of the market have achieved rapid growth. Therefore, the 50 inch plasma market will be rapid development.

Plasma technology has been misunderstood

At present, both manufacturers and consumers have a clear light plasma, heavy liquid tendency. Insiders pointed out that this year some of the false propaganda or Overgeneralization argument seems to lead to misunderstanding, plasma TV technology belongs to backward technology, far less than LCD TV is advanced. This is not the case. As always, we all believe that plasma life only 20 thousand - 30 thousand hours. In fact, the current life of the plasma has reached 60 thousand hours, according to the user to watch TV for 6 hours a day, plasma TV life in more than 20 years, and the majority of LCD TV flat.

Another bias is the difference between the power consumption of plasma and lcd. In fact, this lack of evidence. In 42 inch plasma TV, for example, the general peak power consumption value of 300W - 400W, but the general picture, the boot power consumption value is maintained at 300W, the minimum has dropped to 230W. The 41 inch LCD TV power consumption is about 290W. 50 inches plasma power consumption is 330W, while the 45 inch LCD is as high as 320W, remove the plasma screen factor, both of the power consumption in the same level, and unlike LCD manufacturers propaganda so great disparity.

In addition, the Ministry of information industry after the introduction of high-definition standards, 50 inches below the plasma TV can not be a lot of standards, many people believe that HD will become the biggest problem of 50 inches below the plasma. In fact, the current launch of plasma products, for example, 50 inches below the plasma resolution of only 1024 x 1024 or 1024 x 768, which is in line with international standards, but China's standards are higher than international standards. But the technical realization of higher resolution is not difficult, just need to take into account the brightness and cost issues, currently South Korea manufacturers have been actively developed to meet our HD standard 1366 * 768 resolution panel, estimated shortly after to be put into operation.

In fact, from the global market for large screen TV, plasma TV firmly occupy an absolute advantage, 1 - June market share is expected to be 47%, while the LCD is only $17%. And some foreign manufacturers are also increasing plasma production, so the industry said that the domestic plasma was cold and not a normal phenomenon, consumers should look at the correct plasma.
