Panasonic Plasma TV discontinued?
Panasonic makes best Plasma TVs today. But we are sad to report that Panasonic recently announce that they are going to stop production of Plasma TVs soon, even as early as the first half of 2014. Plasma TV picture is defiantly superior to other TV types, but the early Plasma TVs produced over 10 years ago suffered from a serious problem of burn-in. The later models of Plasma TVs overcame the Burn-in problem, but the stigma of 'Burn-in' stuck, because consumers were reluctant to buy Plasma TVs even though almost all expert reviewers of TVs always recommended Plasma TV as the best TV for watching movies and sports.
Panasonic took over the very famous KURO Plasma TV made by Pioneer. The Elite Kuro PRO-111FD Plasma TV made in 2008 became famous all over the world for its superb picture quality which was unmatched by any other TV at that time and may be even better quality picture than many of today’s top TVs. But this did not help 'Pioneer Electronics' and they sold their loss making Plasma TV division to Panasonic. Panasonic took their Plasma TVs to great heights but they could not sell enough Plasma TVs to make a profit and so have now decided to close it down. May be the reason for this decision of Panasonic is the emergence of the new technology OLED TVs which work on the same principle of Plasma TVs, that is having self-lighting pixels without the need of backlights.
Unique features of Panasonic Viera TV
Some of the unique features of Panasonic Viera TVs are as follows:

Panasonic's exclusive rights to the movie 'Avtar' 3D Movie DVD
Panasonic sort made a coup d'état by cornering the exclusive rights for DVD and Bluray Discs till February 2012 for the best 3D movie made so far, James Cameron's 3D movie 'Avatar'. Panasonic are not selling in the open market Avatar 3D Bluray. Before February 2012 If you wanted to get an Avatar 3D Bluray disc, then you had to buy a Viera 3D TV or Bluray Player from Panasonic. Avatar 3D Bluray disc is included free with the Viera 3D TV or Bluray Player. So many people bought the Panasonic 3D TV just to be able to get a free copy of Avatar 3D Bluray Disc.
