The End of Plasma TVs? Pioneer has announced they will be completely exiting the plasma TV making industry. This is alongside their announcement of laying off 10,000 jobs due to "the global economic slump."
Panasonic, LG and Samsung are the only manufacturers left with Panasonic being the only manufacturer left that produces more plasmas than LCDs. Popular Science has a good article describing the current state of Plasmas here: http://www.popsci.com/entertainment-amp-gaming/article/2009-02/plasma-going-way-romans
Despite plasma TVs being superior to LCD in many ways, the future doesn't look good.
