Love them Panasonic plasmas. 'Staggeringly good' sums it up pretty well. Really wish Panasonic wasn't closing plasma production down.
Any idea why plasma's are being dropped?
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.
