RE: Panasonic plasma TV
Posted by Sondek on July 7, 2019 at 13:48:31:
Power consumption was red herring. At 9 or 10 cents a kw hour, just not a valid concern, IMO. However, cost was the one that took the most out of plasma sails. LCD got dirt cheap, but there was still a market for plasma ... until 4k drove the killer nail in the coffin.
BTW, if that 4k plasma was actually built, I wonder how much it weighed. Hundreds of pounds I would suspect.
The 152 inch 4K that Panny actually did make weigh(ed) 1,272 pounds. Wow!
