"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.
