Why everyone is working on LCD tvs despite the fact that Plasmas are better than Lcd tvs?

After analysing a lot, I concluded that despite being weaker on the burn-in and weight and power fronts, plasmas are much better than lcd tvs and the manufacturers also aceept this thing?
Then what don't they upgrade the plasma technology in place of lcd tvs?

Answer
$.

Companies that have focussed on manufacturing LCDs since the start have deals set up to manufacturer LCDs. It means their most cost effective manufacturing abilities are going to be with components for LCD TVs. So they're not going to re-negotiate new deals (which will cost them more) or have to retrofit their assembly plants (more $). They'll just try to keep milking their existing set ups.

And they need to get a return on their investments in the technology. They've had LED LCDs for years, but they didn't release them to the market until they felt they had enough return on CCFL LCDs. Now they're going to keep pumping the LEDs out until they get their money back on that technology. There's a lot of business side to this, nothing to do with quality.

And Sony has already put in place its replacement for the LCD. Its going to develop OLED. Right now it only has one model, an 11" TV costing $2,500. So its not consumer ready. But that's where they are going. OLED can beat Plasma in image quality, in theory (lets see in practical terms when there's an actual 50" OLED to look at).

And Laser TV is going to be a potential next gen option as well. Mitsubishi I believe is already selling one (though I think its north of $5,000 so not really consumer friendly). Unlike LCDs and Plasmas, it doesn't wear down over time. It runs at 100% until the day it dies.

So while these next gen technologies are being worked on, those manufacturers are going to just keep pumping out LCDs. They're not going to jump into Plasma, they're trying to leap frog Plasma.

Is the problem with my samsung lcd tv fixable without having to replace the lcd display?

While watching my 2 year old samsung LCD tv, several clusters of pixels (6 of them roughly 4"x4" each) began to gradually flicker rapidly back and fourth with different colors that do not match the rest of picture- it looks like little chunks of colorful static in several locations. Ideas as to the problem? Fixable without replacing the LCD?

Answer
its actually under the manufactures warrenty i know exactly what your talking about
basically what they do is split the screen into 4 quadrants and when you send it in they fix the quadrants

ummm samsung typically does 1 year warrentys
but if you bought and extended one from the store you bought it from take it back and they SHOULD take care of the problem
