60" Panasonic VIERA TC-P60GT50 600Hz 1080p Plasma 3D WiFi THX HDTV - $1599 + FS + No Tax (For Most States)

Quote from CSIG1001 : You know nothing about tvs or cars..

lol....wow

clearly a response from someone who knows what they are talking about....

as I said before....

you speak a lot for someone who doesn't have experience with the products they provide commentary on

Quote from turnne : as I told you before I own a Panasonic ST50..a Samsung C8000 and a Samsung E8000..in regards to plasma what do you own? also...I keep reading things like this in the last couple of days on AVS forum what's going on with Panasonic? http://www.thespec.com/news/busin...-plasma-tv

More rumors , sure they will exit eventually because oled is just around the corner . Btw should I buy a st50 now or a st60 lol or a Korean product

Quote from CSIG1001 : More rumors , sure they will exit eventually because oled is just around the corner . Btw should I buy a st50 now or a st60 lol

no actually

it seems more than rumor...and you can buy what you choose and make up on your own mind on prospects of future support for it
Its doubtful you can find an ST50....if these product exit stories are accurate you might be able to get a firesale deal on an ST60 in the comings months

not sure how long you have been around the whole AV thing...but do you remember how cheap you could get a Pioneer Kuro after Pioneer exited the business?

the fact that Panasonic already shut down a facility and reorganized/down sized their labor force is a fact
the other fact is their financial results were very weak when they were released recently

neither of those is rumor.....there are actual dates and occurrences

The same thing happened with Pioneer a few years ago

And since you are wide believer in the "speak" on AVS forum..this seem to be the wild fire topic right now

IF AVS can be used as a source....... they could be exiting the business altogether in 2014

..and you should get out and experience more cars...you will see the difference in detail in expert engineering...lol

Quote from CSIG1001 : Lol ok ... The ST60 is a better set.. good luck on your obsolete tech

Quote from CSIG1001 : You know nothing about tvs or cars..

And you know everything about everything...Just ask you

Quote from eternal10 : And you know everything about everything...Just ask you

lol

well he better act quick

with those financials Pansonic will be doing something..thats for sure

Public companies dont do that poorly financially for long without making some bold moves

..and since their own revenue is way off on Plasma TV's..it seems that that business is prime for exiting

perhaps Samsung and LG will be the only players left in the plasma market

They both have much better financial results...thats for sure

Thanks you both convinced me,to sell all my Japanese products and strictly,purchase Korean products for now on lol

Rushes out to sell my Honda for kia Kia and samsung tvs are the new reference standard oh wait LG

Quote from CSIG1001 : Rushes out to sell my Honda for kia Kia and samsung tvs are the new reference standard oh wait LG

actually if one for looking for a well engineered product they would pass on either..lol
not that the car analogy has anything to do with TV's

but getting back to reality...how long do you think Pansonic will provide warranty support when they exit the business next year?...

at the end of the day the companies that actually have the financials to support R&D will be the ones rolling new products out the door

Those with dismal financial will be reorganizing and shedding those businesses/operations that are not profitable

being that Pansonic has no LED business

and I will speculate here

if I were a betting man I would bet Samsung and LG make a huge amount more money on their LED business vs their plasma business...and since LED probably sell 15-20x more volume than plasma..the current situation with Panasonic stand to reason since they dont really have position( of much relevance) in the LCD/LED marketplace

and no OLED on the table either...??

behind the curve in technology is not good for someone in the flat panel business

maybe you should become a consultant to help them out of recent developments
"
In its consolidated settlement of accounts for the year ending on March 31, Panasonic is likely to suffer a deficit of more than 700 billion yen (about $7.4 billion US) in its after-tax profits for the second year in a row."

uh oh.....thats not good

"The company is trying to raise profitability by increasing the procurement rate of LCD panels from outside makers. "

where do yo think they will get those panels from?...a Korean maker....?..oh
no!!...

I am really surprised you havent been all over these recent developments...the way you use AVS forum as gospel

The financials are like wildfire in the threads right now in both the Panasonic and Samsung threads I read( and post to)

lol you guys are the worst.

Quote from LeonardVinson : lol you guys are the worst.

just the facts....

Quote from HipHop615 : But there is tax for some like the millions in CA, Title Misleading.

No body cares about CA ..next you see no tax ..assume it's not for you

Quote from turnne : just the facts....

I can't wait to get my VT60 which will blow away all Samsung models let alone the ZT series.

Have you. Been under a rock because you still seem to think LG and Samsung are superior products and perform better then Japanese products

Panny's warranty is one year anyway. Square trade my friends.
