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all the technical rube goldberg hacks to get around this fatal flaw) and quite frankly no R&D is going into this outdated tech.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

it all boils down to the fact plasma has kinda reached its product maturity and has no room to improve. it is what it is.
led/lcd/oled whatever is still dramatically improving every year..and the upside is tremendous.
thats whats going on here. plasma is heavy and you can't really work around that. LEDs are getting lighter by the day which means 70..85..100inch can be built & shipped cheaply..and with 4K right around the corner..plasma is pretty much sitting this one out.
