Pioneer To End TV Production, Spin Off DVD Development

[4TA23]

I have read almost every thread on this here and else where. Pioneer is only closing there PDP line, nothing else, so I would bet they will still honnor warranties. You have both Samsung and Panny, whose new line looks ok but rumor has it not better than a 9G Pio but better than last years TV's (thank you poor economy). Samsung is not going any where, according to what I have read else where they are the "800lb Gorilla" capable of pushing everyone else around, so I have read, and they are very aggressive. If Pio is really out I bet they sell there tech to either Panny (hopefully) or Samsung but Sharp has a vested intrest in Pio as well as Sharp makes the LCD KURO's for Pio ( only sold in Europe I think) and may not want to let things go either. I would almost bet that depending on how much money Pio needs to get themselves out of hot water and whoever has the most money (probably Samsung) will buy the tech rites to KURO plasma screens. I seriously hope Panny as they seem to push the plasma more than Samsung does. Samsung adapted to a market choice by the masses being fooled into thinking LCD's are a better TV ( thank you uneducated BB and CC employees at the big box stores, way to read actual facts).

So that is my two cents, maybe a little hope and prayer and one of the big guys Panny or Sammy will bail them out and we will see the new 10G Pio, one can always hope, I am sure we will know more Thursday or Friday when Pio is to announce what the heck is really going on.
