welcome to 2003.
plasma is heavy, suffers burn-in (yes, it still does despite all the technical rube goldberg hacks to get around this fatal flaw) and quite frankly no R&D is going into this outdated tech.
why is it a surprise this expensive tech is being dropped in favor of lightweight and paper-thin OLED and other technologies?
eta you can't curve a plasma

I think that is what it boils down to. Plasma's cost much more to mfg. My plasma's have served me well and I prefer them to my LCD/ LED's.
I will wait until OLED becomes more mainstream to upgrade my plasmas

I have a 4 year old Panasonic plasma, and I have never had a permanent burn in. It might have a tempory image remnant after turning off an auxiliary device. However, it goes away within moments, and doesn't show up during programs.
My understanding was that burn in was only a problem on much older plasmas.

Heat is certainly an issue, but you still can't beat a plasma for watching sports. The main issue with plasma, however, is energy consumption. There is no money going into further development because they're being banned in many places around the world.

I have a Pioneer Kuro plasma that I bought 5 years ago. I wouldn't trade it for anything currently available on the market. The picture is stunning. Yes, it's heavier than LED or LCD TV's but it's been hanging on a wall since I purchased it. It's not like I'm going to move it around every week. I've never had an issue with burn in at all.
