The Pioneer collapse is already old news.
Even before Pioneer decided to stop their R&D express, Panasonic Panels looked almost as good in side-by-side blu-ray comparisons.
Pioneer and Panasonic have a partnership building plasma panels, so common speculatulation has Panasonic rising as the leader.
But has anyone noticed how much Samsung technology has grown over the past 3 years. At the 2009 CES shows, Samsung panels were very sharp. While we couldnt do side-by-side comparisons, i could swear their blacks and whites were on par with Panasonic.
And their panels were very thin (some under an inch in thickness!)
