PIONEER EXITS THE TELEVISION
BUSINESS Pioneer Elite (and even regular Pioneer) have made among the best plasmas in our business since the inception of the flat panel in the 90's. Today Pioneer announced it is exiting the flat panel business entirely. It will still service its products. But it will not make them any more. Pioneer states flat out that it cannot sell panels profitably. It's that simple. Should we be surprised? Every web outlet & superstore out there is bragging that it has the best quality, cheapest flat panel on the market. It's a shame that more people cannot look beyond the hype to actually appreciate the magnificent performance offered by companies like Pioneer Elite and Panasonic Pro. Combine this attitude with our economic issues and, there just are not enough people left that care about quality to keep Pioneer panels afloat. Please consider supporting Panasonic Pro with your next flat panel purchase. You'll be getting the best flat panel on the market. You'll also be supporting a company that has a division (the Pro Plasma) dedicated to the best picture and build quality. The next time you hear one of your buddies say, "What's the cheapest 50 inch I can buy?" Please slap him upside the head! |
