  I'm not seeing any Panasonic plasma TV model at Costco.

    I don't see Panasonics at Costco.com either but B&H has them with free shipping on 55", 60" and 65" and no sales tax on orders outside of New York.

      Costco sometime in the past had the 50" 'entry' level panel for maybe 700 or 800$…….a reasonable deal.
      I saw an LG Plasma once last year…..
      I'm not current on what is available in-store.
      
      Did I hear a true rumor about Panasonic dropping out of the Plasma market?

    My local one has at least one in stock. I think its only 55" though.

  Love them Panasonic plasmas. 'Staggeringly good' sums it up pretty well. Really wish Panasonic wasn't closing plasma production down.

    Thanks!

      Profit, of course. That's what drives any corporate decision. Panasonic lost 900 million last year on the TV business. Only the picky viewers buy plasmas, the mass market buys LCD types (largely driven by clueless sales people at Best Buy, etc.). This is the same thing that killed Pioneers plasmas.

        Is it true that Panasonic picked up some of Pioneer's technology for their better plasmas that are still available?

          Yes. Panasonic bought the technology from Pioneer when they quit the business. Pioneer had been using Panasonic displays anyway in the Kuro line.
