RIP Panny Plasmas

It is no surprise that the AG crowd again separates itself from the hoi poloi. I got a 60 inch panny plasma last summer when I heard they were probably going to bow out. How anyone can tolerate an LCD is just mind boggling. Its not Panasonic's fault. LCD's are the visual equivalent of cheapo speakers that sizzle in the store, then don't get playing time at home because they are too hot.
Sorry if I've gone overboard here, I've just had too much frustration with the 2 digit IQ crowd lately.

Brownsfan, I wish there was a LIKE button.

Still have an early generation Fujitsu 50" plasma which is far better in every respect than my 3 year old sony XBR and than every LCD I've ever seen. Hopefully, plasma survives.

Panasonic has always made great quality and value television. I have two of the Viera and one superflat CRT. All look/work excellent. I hope they come up with something as good for their next generation.

Liz, the market rush is still, and always will be flat panels. LCD, and LED are flat panels. I have all plasma tv's, except my pj, and prefer them. I guess I just don't understand your "flat panel" comment.
