Whoa: Panasonic’s new ultra-thin Plasma HDTV priced at 6K
March 5, 2009 by Derek
Yes, we’re aware that $5,995 for a Plasma HDTV is a lot right now, but remember back when Mitsubishi threw a crazy $6,999 price tag on its sensational LaserVue set, and how most thought that was way too much.
Panasonic’s dazzling new number will only be one-inch thick and be code named the TC-P54Z1, and will serve a very dwindling niche of videophiles wanting the very best of the best in terms of color reproduction and clarity. With Plasma production by other companies winding down, Panasonic is serving a very special subset of the HDTV fans out there.
This price tag is only a rumor, mind you, and Pana hasn’t yet confirmed the price tag officially. Most thought (after it showed at CES) that’s about what it would be, so it doesn’t surprise anyone really. We can’t wait to see if it measures up to its price tag.
