Description While consumer enthusiasm for those sleek, sexy, portrait-thin plasma televisions has ramped up steeply (manufacturers say and my e-mail affirms), so has a general feeling of anxiety over rumblings that plasma sets don't enjoy a very long life. Word on the street has it that plasma televisions often betray pixel dropouts and lose much of their brightness within a couple of years.
But spokesmen for two of the leading makers of plasma sets say all that stuff is just meaningless hearsay, uninformed gossip left over from the technology's formative days of a decade ago.
Plasma television is becoming a viable alternative to those bulky tube and projection sets. Prices are coming down and a variety of screen sizes are available. It may be that the idea hanging the TV on the wall and regaining all that wasted floor space definitely offers more pleasing asthetics over staring at a "box".
