    That's really bad news. I just bought a Panny and It's a great TV. I think they should just raise the price and or cut the dealers out and sell direct. The Panny BD player I just bought that is a great little unit for discs and streaming was only $64 which is ridiculous. I have one downstairs that is the same model but bought about a year ago or so and that one was $164. Both were bought from Amazon. They obviously need more margin.

    Pretty soon it will be impossible to buy anything that is any good.

    That's not an echo, that's me screaming too. I just can't believe it. Finally, we're starting to get TVs that are once again approaching Kuro level and now what?! It looks like we still have another year before something happens but thanks for sharing this. I'm very disappointed.

    That isn't all that bad. I only say this because if the ZT60 is as good as everyone says, is there really anywhere else to go with plasma tech? I still REALLY want a ZT60 (wifey will have to approve that one, one of the few times I'll say that). I can see the logic in saying that OLED is the next big display technology. Makes sense to put their engineers on that instead of tweaking what is already fantastic. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are further advances that could be made in PDP technology, but there comes a point to stop development. It happened to CRT's, it will happen to LCD and Plasma as well.
