----- HDTV Magazine Tips List -----
Larry,
Pages 4 and 31 of the 2004 (free) report, officially announced in January 2004, almost 2 years ago.
Take a look at the stores that carry Pioneer Elites and admire the beauty of the Elite's 61" plasma
monitor.
In fact I am arranging delivery and installation of one of those for a person that had love at first
sight, instead of the 61" 1080p Samsung. Higher resolution spec is not everything.
Best Regards,
Rodolfo La Maestra

Rodolfo,
Has there ever been a response about why Pioneer seems to firmly committed
to Plasma only?

Hugh,
Anything could happen in this industry, but I talked to the CEO and also
their Vice president of
marketing last week and both stated that the company is already working into
the second generation
of LCoS sets. They will not be alone in the multiple technology bandwagon.

Brillian agreed a couple of weeks ago to be purchased by Syntax Groups Corp.
Had this not occurred Brillian would not be able to go forward as they were
hemorrhaging money with no income. The CEO of Brillian will be the survivor
when the merger is completed. Syntax manufactures LCD televisions and
Olevia is one of their brands. I believe they will manufacture TVs in
Mexico but it will still be tough to compete with the Japanese, Chinese and
Koreans.
