Yes, I'm thinking Plasma is 'history' now.
While Plasma IS better than most LCD/LED sets of the same time, the problem is that I don't think Plasma was adaptable to the new 4k resolution.
First Pioneer, with the ground AND wallet busting KURO sets dropped out. Later, Panasonic dropped than finally LG and either Sanyo or Samsung.
The last generation of Plasma sets were AWESOME to look at.
Power consumption was also probably an issue. They tend to run WARM which is good in winter and NOT so good in summer!
Maybe a 4k plasma WAS possible, but would have been a real wallet buster. Sales numbers were down. So unit cost to justify the R+D / development would have been high.
The replacement is better than them ALL in the form of the OLED panels from LG. This is also an 'emissive' rather than 'transmissive' tech and has a good viewing angle and all the other virtues of a top-display. Expensive, but worth it to the videophile.
Go test view an OLED set. You'll see that with good source material, NO CRT can keep up.
Too much is never enough
