Pioneer recently announced it has developed a full-HD 50-inch PDP television, and it expects to bring the new offering to the market in May 2006. PDP television makers in the past encountered problems in reducing the size of the panel while at the same time increasing the resolution. Matsushita also has developed a prototype for a 50-inch PDP television with full HD resolution, unveiling it at CEATAC Japan 2005, where Pioneer displayed its product as well.
