Pioneer stops making 42″ plasmas
Pioneer are planning to stop making 42" plasma panels according to the Asahi newspaper in Japan.
Instead they will buy in those panels from another manufacturer, either Panasonic or Hitachi.
The move will allow the company, which lost money making flatscreens last year, to focus on larger screens, and parallels a move made last year to rebrand LCD screens from Sharp.
This probably isn’t great news for shoppers, given that their top ranked 42" plasma is a Pioneer.
