Plasma deathwatch: Vizio pulls plasma TV's from its product line

In another deathblow to the plasma HDTV industry, Vizio has pulled out of the plasma business and will focus solely on LCD TV's going forward. A Vizio spokesperson said in speaking to the New York Times that plasma sets don't show as well in big-box retailers which typically use very bright lighting and it wanted to use its shelf space to stock the products that sell the fastest, or in other words, LCD TV's. Just days ago we heard that Pioneer, maker of the world's finest plasma TV's, would be pulling out of the TV business altogether.
