Have Cnet Lost The Plot?

[BribieG]

Now, I know we shouldn't insult "fellow-traveller" organisations but I was absolutely amazed to read this comment today in CNET's article "LCD versus Plasma, six things you need to know":

http://www.cnet.com.au/tvs/0,239035250,339273215,00.htm

"Technically, a 42-inch plasma gives you approximately 30 percent extra screen real estate as a 37-inch LCD panel, but they both go for about AU$3500 mark. By 2008, you may see 42-inch LCDs hitting that price"

Are these people on the same planet? A current home consumer catalogue I am looking at is full of 42 inch LCD's starting at about 2k. I have always logged on to CNET for info about latest trends and products but I'm wondering if they have lost the plot. To drive the point home you would think that someone writing for CNET should know that 37inch LCDs are just about finished. I'm wondering if someone from a plasma company is ... erm ... assisting him in writing this article.

I have also posted this on the HD thread
