Now that Panasonic is the only plasma-only company (and one of just a few companies that are making plasma at all), I wonder how long they'll be making plasmas. At the electronic store I sued to work at, we had a panasonic 50pz800u (an older model) bookended by a 52" Sony XBR 6 and a 52" Samsung 750 (both pretty new as far as TVs go) and of course the plasma blew them away. But I have seen some of the LED TVs and their black levels are very impressive. And being half an inch thick and 60 lbs is very appealing, because to me it's a waste to get a massive TV and NOT mount it on a wall, unless for some reason you aren't able to do it. I'd like to see the new versions of the LED backlit, and now edgelit TVs.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
As long as Panasonic keeps cranking out their VIERA plasmas, I couldn't be less interested in anything Samsung has to say.
I couldn't agree with you more.
