That is very disappointing. I have a couple of their bottom-level plasmas (because 720 vs 1080 makes no difference on Comcast, I think...), and they are GREAT.

That does indeed suck. I bought a 55" model about 2 years ago and I didn't think I would ever go back (guess I have no choice now). Panasonic always had best bang for your buck for sure when it comes to picture quality, although Samsung makes a pretty good plasma as well.

I have comcast and went from LCD Phillips to led samsung smart and I can tell a huge difference and both were 1080, however the Phillips was 60hz compared to the 120hz samsung.

and yes I had heard about 6 mos ago that Panasonic was stopping production of plasmas. I blv (not sure) Samsung makes them..but I'm guessing I'll be going to a 4K TV when the Panny plays out (if it ever does). Thing is built to last like Toyotas.

Just got a 60" Panny plasma (TC-PST60) and the picture is outstanding. It blows any LCD of LED I've seen out of the water.

Grab a Samsung LED 240hz 65" and you will question how you ever made it this far without one.

Bummer. I've had one since '09. It's a great television.

Good idea, ill go pick one up with the $2K of walk around money I keep in my back pocket.

For $2000, my TV better jerk me off.

My "Toyota" tv is a 32" Mistubishi I bought in 1984, fall asleep to the news every night w/ it. It lived in Canterbury 2 years and an old dump behind Van Landingham lumber for 1 before I graduated. Since then its moved w/ me 6 times. Its a tank.

The plasmas are 600Hz - that was the main reason I went plasma to start with.

Yeah LED is my favorite HDTV technology.

An Apple analyst says that Apple will introduce a 4K TV next year. Competition should make 4K affordable soon.

I have a Sony 46'' 240 and I can't stand to watch anything not live on my friend's Samsung 55'' 120.
