i told ya'll there was a reason manufacturers were getting out of the plasma business so quick.
The reasons they abandonded plasma include the fact that LCD was outselling it 20 to 1, the inability to make a 4K plasma, the ability to make 4K LCDs Right Now in huge quantities, and the marketing push for 4K as the Next Big Thing, like 3D was the last few years.

rush to market here with cheap OLEDs..why waste time spending money on 2001 technology when OLEDs are right around the corner?
OLED isn't cheap, not nearly as cheap as plasmas were at the end. It's yet to be seen whether they can produce OLED in sufficient quantity, and they likely won't try as long as 4K LCD sells well. LG is the only one currently interested in making OLED; Samsung and Sony/Panasonic have given up for now.
