Panasonic makes a good plasma panel but the components they put into it are crap.

Pioneer makes their own panels. These reports are basically saying Pioneer won't produce them anymore and currently negotiating with Panasonic to get panels from them instead. So no, they are not buying cheap panels from Panasonic...not yet at least.
