RIP Panny Plasmas


Just saw a report on CNBC that Panasonic is planning on exiting the plasma business by March 2014. Can't say I'm overly surprised but still a bummer. Hope the others aren't following suit soon.

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.
Elizabeth,
Do you think Panasonic would have come out better if they shipped their plasmas with Pangea PCs? :) Sorry, couldn't help myself. Your analysis of market forces on high volume consumer goods is pretty hard to argue. Good post.
