Thread: Panasonic's 2012 Plasma Prices Hit the Internet

Who would've thought Panasonic would be the value leader? Compared to some of the leaked 2012 prices that I've been seeing the new crop of Panny plasmas look all the more enticing. Once again HD Guru broke the story. Check out the prices and street dates below.

Impressive. That 55vt50 is less than I gave for a 55vt30 last year.

Don't feel bad - my 70 inch Sharp sells for $1,000 less in stores than what I paid for it from the distributor in AUGUST!

Its video. That's the way of the world.

Good to see Panasonic lowering prices to offer better TVs for less. I think they will be more recommendable by us going forward to more people - even with smaller budgets. This is a very good thing.

I love Pannie plasmas! I think we all know Panasonic bought much of Pioneer's Elite technology.

Sharp bought the name and hired some of the Elite engineers......

I love Pannie plasmas, too. That's why I bought one. That's why I might buy another one...Absolutley great tv's. Phenomenal panels at a great price.

For the 1% folks who can afford this, you can get your Panasonic 152 inch 4K2K 3D television (TH-152UX1W) for the low low price of $957,000

Correction: Sharp bought the Elite technology from Pioneer. Regarding Panasonic and other brands who sell TV's, within the past year, many have changed their distribution of their products. This was a direct result of the manufacturer's getting really pissed off everytime they saw their products being sold on eBay for a cheaper or much cheaper price. The only way they could do that was to try & track serial numbers. If they caught anyone selling them too cheap, they immediately cut off the offending company who sold them on eBay. They would then use MAP pricing for every reseller. Selling TV's has now become like selling gas at a gas station. Prices are all within a few cents of each other. It doesn't matter if you buy a TV from Best Buys, etc or from a Custom Installer. Some Custom Installers are not bothering to sell TV's any more; just the Installation, brackets, audio, etc. They actually make more money that way.

TC-P65ST50 $2,331.26 amazon

TC-P65VT25 $3,099.99 amazon

VT25, isn't that a 2010 model? Not a bad price for a 65" VT.

Makes me wonder if Panasonic would honor the warranty.
