I don't see what all the hoopla is over plasma technology, which Panasonic has deemed a dead-end and discontinued the line. My 24 inch monitor seems to be doing alright, but, of course, it was a $500.00 monitor in it's time.

Still, seems like a good deal. I think the plasma's are mostly unpopular because of their thickness and, of course, ultimately because of their power consumption.

All one needs to do is to directly compare any LCD/LED right next to plasma playing the same source. No going back.

of the demise of plasma displays cost to produce, ship, and its power consumption. You won't find many, if any, quality plasma owners buying LCD/LED displays. Why is that?

  the death-blow was/is 4k. Plasma would've died eventually due to the things you listed, but 4k brought things to a head PDQ.

That Samsung is only 4: thick and it's Energy Star rated to use only $18/yr. in electricity - not too shabby, methinks!

Better blacks than LCD/LED. My Mom just sprang for a 43" Samsung plasma and it has a terrific picture - very film like. True, they are not razor thin like the LCDs/LEDs, but hers is only a few inches thick, maybe 3-4 inches - no big deal, IMHO.

That 60" Samsung I linked would seem to be a very good buy if you're looking for a larger screen plasma...

    And the weighting towards the front made it almost unliftable.
    - Wow 15 ft. thick! - rlw 06:47:28 10/31/14 (0)
      Now that's a BIG monitor...
