Japan's Pioneer said Thursday it will launch its first full high-definition plasma televisions in October, playing catch-up with larger rivals such as Matsushita Electric Industrial.

Pioneer's plasma operations swung to a quarterly loss in April-June, hit by fierce price competition in the flat-TV market, where plasma televisions are losing market share to rival liquid crystal display (LCD) models.

I can't believe companies are even making plasma TVs still. The LCDs that are out now IMO have better quality and will last a lot longer.

people forget that while plasma may "appear" better at first, they burn in over time... and think of it as a half life type of result....there are also other factors...
