Samsung turning to plasma in face of LCD shortages? According to anonymous industry sources it seems Samsung looks to be turning to smaller sized plasma TVs in the face of "persistent" LCD panel shortages.
Earlier this year LG made a similar move and created the 32-inch 32PC5RV PDP. Plasma displays are generally over 37 inches.

However, the company will not launch any 32-inch PDP TVs in the near term due to capacity constraints. Sources say the PDP capacity is still tight due to increased demand from Philips and Chinese customers.
