Are Plasma HDTV's really dying?
I have a Plasma HDTV, and it looks awesome, i get many compliments when someone comes over my house. I read this article today saying its a dying species. Would you guys buy a plasma today ? Or is this article true ? I know LED is the best i guess, but plasma isn't dead right ? If they had great deals on Plasma, wouldn't you buy one ?

I wouldn't buy a plasma because it doesn't mesh well with being hooked to a PC. I don't think they'll make a comeback. I may be wrong but I don't think they make 4k plasmas either.

I own a plasma and LED TV. I also owned an LCD before I bought my plasma. The picture quality on the LED is WAY BETTER than the plasma. If I was shopping for a new TV today I wouldn't even look at plasma.
**I only bought my plasma because I wanted the biggest TV I could get but didn't have the biggest budget. My 60" plasma cost me under $500 at a boxing day sale.
