As a young man, not so long ago. Without knowing it at the time. I became part of Plasma history in North America. With the introduction of the 1st generation Plasma Panels to North America retail stores in 1999
I was fortunate enough to see the sell in (to retail stores) of the 50'' Plasma. Introduced at $20K U.S. and $25K Canadian. I was a part of the wholesale division at that time.
I have seen it grow. Generation to generation. To what it is today in the Retail sector.
I am presently a part of the retail division and handle many questions at the sales floor level.
I can answer most of the misconceptions the Industry has created around Plasma technology.
Why 37'' and larger Plasma technology outsells any and all other viewing formats.
Why some BIG Company's who did have their name on Plasma no longer do... To why BIG Company's that swore they would ''NEVER'' have their name on Plasma now do.
Where you should and should not buy a Plasma. To why one business sells a Plasma name or model # that is strange to the rest of the industry.
Why and how pricing has dropped so dramatically. To the embarrassment of Plasma's selling in Clearance stores that are unable to educate or service the client
I will not answer questions on current competitive pricing from business to business. That is not part of this forum.
I will however answer what you need to know as quick as I can. Just remember the length of time it may take to respond due to an over whelming quantity of questions. I will answer the questions in a priority type manner. So please ask questions that will benefit all of those who read this forum
Thank you
Educate yourself on Plasma before you buy. Not after the fact.
Buyer's remorse is a reality in this part of the Industry. Be smart, be inquizative and try not to be too thrifty. You truly get what you pay for.
