Just curious as to member's feelings about the future of Plasma TV. Is anyone still buying them? Certainly the prices have come down considerably to make them affordable. Is it true that they are big power users?
Pioneer is a very small company relative to the others and simply couldn't keep running their business as they did. Display research and development is very costly and they just did not have the volume to make up for that. And they were suffering from other problems, forcing major reorganizations.why did Pioneer discontinue Kuro if it was so successful?
Unfortunately the latest trend in LCD is glossy screens. It is getting very hard to find matt units.Plasma screens reflect light like a mirror, LCD's are flat at any angle and big plus for many.
Yup. I heard the same song a few years back after I bought the Fujitsu.Pioneer is a very small company relative to the others and simply couldn't keep running their business as they did.

I thought that Fuji and Pioneer made the best Plasma screens
I would think that "glare" is as big of an issue as any. In fact, my wife and I went into a big box store recently and the two questions; where and at what times is the TV being viewed was the first questions from the sales assistant (once we found one and waited 10 minutes).

And we have companies like Panasonic shipping Plasma units which degrade in performance after use (black level goes up).
