Stu, I hadn't actually considered the 4k thing until violinist3 mentioned it, but I think it's absolutely the nail in the coffin for plasma. Production costs vs LCD took its toll, but the final death blow is 4k. You don't have to spend much time at all considering the engineering challenges to see it.

"It is technically possible to produce 4K plasma panels, even 8K plasma panels, but “technically possible” is not the same as feasible. It is a major technological challenge to make plasma cells small enough to fit over 8 million pixels (3840x2160 aka 4K) into a 55 or 65 inch plasma panel. And even if Panasonic achieved it technically, EU’s strict energy regulations would make it close to impossible to market consumer 4K plasma TVs."
It was a dead-end technology: Only the OLEDs will save quality television, now.
I can live with that.
I would say that the LED/LCD market killed Plasma tv.
I think that is the overall correct answer too. LED/LCD would have eventually done-in plasma due to the economics of it, but 4k came along and forced things to a end much quicker.
