Are they doing anything with the plasma?

Pioneer exited the TV market more than a year ago. Panasonic hired their Kuro engineering team and I believe bought Pioneer's plasma technology as well.

BASICALLY a rebadge.
SHARPS more efficient production making sets for PIONEER, who have evidently
forgotten how to build tv sets.
THEY think that they will be able to build "high end" sets on the cheap if teaming up.
More power to em, high end cheapies, sounds good.

The Kuro is a quality piece of gear. Too bad it's a dying technology but progress never stops.
