Pioneer to get out of the 42-inch plasma game
Who said 42" was too big? Panasonic Pioneer, one of the world’s largest plasma screen manufacturers, has decided to stop making any Plasma TVs smaller than 42" beginning in March, 2009. The company will focus instead on making much larger TVs. Sounds good to us, but anyone looking to buy into the Plasma market with a relatively small investment might want to pony up prior to March of next year, lest you find yourself having to pay for a massive screen. Given Panasonic’s Pioneer’s prominent status, we have to wonder if similar announcements from the other major companies will be forthcoming
UPDATE: Sorry folks, but as you can probably tell, it’s Pioneer, not Panasonic, that’s getting out of the game here. Sorry for any confusion.
I believe the article says Pioneer, not Panasonic.
Also, it says they will stop producing plasmas 42″ AND smaller, not smaller than 42″ (which is to say they won’t produce 42″ models anymore, your statement does not imply). How about some editing here?
I want my 30 incher. What the hell am I gonna do now!

@Chase,
I guess you’ll have to go bigger.
Yea this whole article is confusing, “Pioneer to get out of the 42″ plasma game” sounds like they’re just not going to make 42″ers anymore and it sounds like a stupid move to begin with. But hey I don’t write this stuff, just giving feedback.
dis is gonna be a trend ii can feel it
