April 1, 2005 – Projection Summit Early Bird Registration Expires April 8

The prognostications for the projection industry vary widely, from stagnation to the promise of sustained high growth.

They see plasma and LCD-TVs positioned to take the lion’s share of home big screens. To them, the recent growth pop of RPTV is a bubble that will be burst as huge flat-panel fabs hit stride and flood the market with low-priced big-screen displays.
