LG considering leaving the plasma industry?

lg_plasma102_01_400.jpgThe plasma death watch is on.

Hiya,

I spoke with George Mead, Marketing Manager for digital display, LG UK about this, he said:

"We appreciate that the global market for Plasma TV's is undergoing some major changes which are, of course, being discussed at LG's global headquarters. However, LG Electronics UK has no intention to withdraw from the Plasma TV market. In fact, we have recently implemented a bespoke strategy to promote and market Plasma TV’s here in the UK. The development of new technologies including our THX certification is a strong indication of the growth opportunities for Plasma TV's in the UK market."
