To add insult to injury, we have it in one of those ginormous entertainment units about 8 feet wide we have to get rid of also. Location: Removing a snake out of the neighbor's washing machine.

As a result only professional reviewers and aficionados knew that plasma TVs maintained the best quality and price. This is again influenced my marketing efforts and on-floor sales people.

A great example is power consumption. Does a plasma TV use more power. Yes, generally. How much more? Is that enough to make you purchase an inferior product? Yes, a repeat of CP. This time it's the brightness of the TVs when you walk in the store.

Never mind that it will look terrible in a medium light room in your house and give you a headache as well. It looks so much brighter on the wall at the store than the plasma.

Samsung and LG continued to produce plasma TVs even at a loss, and would not give up a technology monopoly to Panasonic for fear that they would begin successfully marketing the technology as better. It may sound trivial but it's not. Even though Panasonic has been able to make plasma TV thin in depth, they are still heavy and require a metal backing.

We received official word from Panasonic that they have already closed down the 3 billion dollar plasma panel factories. With Panasonic stepping out of plasma TV manufacturing, we anticipate Samsung and LG to do the same even though we have not received official comment from those companies.

It seemed so obvious that we forgot to ask Samsung's F series plasma TV from was the best plasma displays they ever produced. Panasonic's 4K LED TV offering just isn't up to snuff compared to plasma display technology, but it's certainly not unwatchable. A properly calibrated ST60 boasts an amazing picture and was a terrific value for the price.
