Conclusiones del crítico acerca de la última review que va a efectuar a un Plasma Panasonic debido a la retirada de esta compañía de la producción de plasmas. Después de muchos años de experiencia viendo paneles de todos los precios y tecnologías no puedo estar más de acuerdo con sus amargas conclusiones finales.

The Panasonic Viera TX-P42GT60B is the best sub-50in flat-screen TV we’ve tested to date as far as picture quality is concerned, and – barring a miraculous breakthrough in large-sized OLED display technology in terms of yield and pricing – is likely to remain so for the next few years, because we just don’t see any LED LCD outperforming the set’s insane black level, naturally high motion resolution and wide viewing angles in the future.
But the market has spoken, and the public overwhelmingly prefer the ultra-slim form factor, brighter picture and lower power consumption of LED LCD televisions. According to market analysis firm DisplaySearch, PDP accounted for only 5.1% of worldwide TV shipments during the second quarter of 2013, and this figure will shrink even more following Panasonic’s exit. We, and many other technical reviewers, have utterly failed in educating the masses and stemming the LCD tide despite banging on about plasma’s superior image quality, and it’s a sobering reminder that sometimes being the best just isn’t good enough.
