On november 19th, the fukuoka news network, a plasma television that was once considered a “platform television” proxy, finally lost after many years of fighting with lcd tv. Following pine's announcement that the production of plasma panels would cease, samsung and lg also indicated that production of plasma television would cease at the end of the month. On the other hand, ion, the parent of the plasma camp, also issued an announcement transferring the plasma television business and completely withdrawing the plasma television products。
Yesterday, journalists found that there were virtually no plasma television products available in the television district at various domestic power stores in fukuzhou. According to the operator, there is little customer access to plasma television, as it is “too power-consuming”, and the main force of plasma television, ion, is now selling its products mainly lcd. In some electrician towns, however, there are only four brands of plasma television that are sold for nearly nine, compared with nearly 30 brands of over 500 liquid crystal televisions, and prices are alarmingly low. Some 51-inch 3d plasma televisions cost less than $2,700, less than half the price of the same size liquid crystal television on the market, and qualify as “jumping price”。
“the plasma television has a number of disadvantages, but there are also the advantages of dynamic clarity, visual comfort, colour reduction, contrast, visualization, etc., and even the expression `exterior view of liquid crystals, in-line view of plasma', which some electronics industry used to regard as outsiders.” mr. Zhang of the monitoring and inspection of electronic products of fujian province told reporters that there had been many years of debate about the merits of plasma television and lcd television, and that no one could convince anyone. However, apart from technology, plasma television manufacturers, in order to obtain higher profits, do not open their industrial chains to other producers, directly leading to the loss of the plasma camp。
Now, the fallout of plasma is irreversible, but its sale becomes a major problem. Journalists consulted the main stores yesterday and learned that the recommended life of plasma television was 8-10 years. The number of fukuo users who had previously purchased plasma television was still high, so the actual holdings of plasma television would not be too low. This means that after-sale services for plasma television will remain in demand for a considerable period of time to come. However, under the repossession liability provisions for partial commodity repairs, there will be no replacement parts for the current plasma user after five years or in the event of maintenance。
Therefore, industry suggests that consumers should not buy plasma television only for cheap purposes, as future after-sale services are unknown; second, the relevant branders should make a certain reserve for plasma television maintenance services once they are out of the market, and it would be desirable to have a modest three-pack extension to properly complete the end-of-service。
