actually watching blu-ray in plasma i feel is kinda bazir

you lose all the sharpness...

in my mind plasma tv picture is still kinda like cinema look and grainy

thats the whole idea. the director shoots in film and thats what he wants you to see - a film like picture
if he wanted you to see a digital video, he could have shot it using a digital cam, then you will get a "soap opera" effect

should be better and oled pixel produced its own light(not like lcd) and lighter, but the worry goes on the lifespan and price is damn expensive now.
however, panasonic are focusing on oled development now.

plasma panel are over-saturated as oled, but the plasma tv able to show SRGB source as natural as possible

and for the first year mainstream, you need to pay really much, and only 55inch model is introduced.
i will only buy if manufacturer managed to produce 40inch oled tv if the price less than 7k

OLED will still have some years to go before it becomes affordable.
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33199_7-57598...ed-televisions/

A decent 65in Pana Plasma can be had now for less than 8k.

Next "big thing" here will be 4k LCD/LED. I think Sony's 65in 4k TV going for Rm24k retail .....maybe in 3 years the price will come down to 15k

After the heartbreak of losing Pioneer's excellent Kuro line, Panasonic's plasma displays were the last bastion of hope for plasma TV enthusiasts, but now even they are going extinct. Panasonic today confirmed a Reuters report from earlier this month that it is exiting the plasma TV market with almost immediate effect — production of new units will end in December and all related operations will be wrapped by March next year. Two of Panasonic's three factories have already stopped building new units and the third will join them in about a month's time. The Verge reported this past April that the company had ceased all future plasma display development.

Panasonic made a strong effort to push its plasma TVs this year — coming to CES in January with a fully refreshed home theater lineup — however the economics of plasma display production just haven't worked out for the company. Though consumer demand is apparently still firm, Panasonic says that "due to rapid, drastic changes in the business environment" and price pressure from more affordable LCD TVs, the unhappy decision had to be made. That leaves HD enthusiasts with a few months to save up the money to buy a ZT60, the last in a proud line of beautiful TVs.

As for the future, a Panasonic Display vice president told The Verge in April that plasma research and development efforts would likely be diverted to OLED. The company sees televisions using the technology as "one of the key future products," and it is working to insure that it can make affordable OLED TVs that still leave room for profit before putting any up for sale. If and when that day comes, sticklers for the picture quality offered by plasmas should be more than happy with OLEDs.
