Bloomberg reporting rumors of Panasonic closing/selling its plasma plant in Japan.
What I find astounding is their reporting a loss of $900M for their television division in the past year. How is that possible?
My own personal problem w/ plasma is the lack of smaller sizes. I have no need/space for anything larger than around 32"-35".

Pioneer had to sell their plasma business a few years ago. The moral of the story is that consumers generally buy crap and are more interested in saving a buck than buying quality.
If you have no need for anything larger than 35" just get a Sony Bravia. Unless you sit a couple feet from the TV, you won't notice an improvement with a better 1080p screen.

Probably LG will take up the mantel of plasma suppliers to those that care. Our local sport's bar and most (not all) businesses prefer plasma screens for their better picture quality, usually they have Panasonic.
Plasmas tend to be more expensive, use more energy, and can have issues in brightly lit rooms. The masses aren't really interested in quality, as long is its big and flat-most never take their TV out of flame mode.

Plasmas are usually the cheaper sets available, everything being equal. I think this is one of the problems. Salesmen push the LED sets, since they make more profit from them. When you get ignorant salespeople together with ignorant consumers....
Best Buy!
