Despite rumors over the last couple of weeks, Panasonic has announced they will not only continue producing Plasma TVs, but that they believe there is still great potential to further grow and improve the technology. This should make videophiles and cinemaphiles breath a sigh of relief as there was a great deal of concern that Panasonic would drop out on the heels of releasing arguably their best line of TVs to date in their VT50 series.
Panasonic’s Henry Hauser issued the following statement:
“Reports that Panasonic will no longer develop and manufacture Plasma HDTVs are not correct. This week in New York City, Panasonic demonstrated the latest development of our gapless Plasma panel technology in our 2013 Smart Viera ZT-series Plasma HDTV. The technology incorporated into our ZT series Studio Master Panel will be the basis for continued plasma display panel development and production.
While the Smart Viera ZT series introduces a new level of Plasma picture quality, we believe there is still room for further improvement and intend to continue to research ways to take our plasma technology to even higher levels where it also has the potential to be applied in our other plasma series in the future.
Viera plasma HDTVs continue to set the standard for picture quality and black level excellence and the ZT series is another example of the continued ability of plasma to evolve and continue to deliver a best-in-class HDTV.”
