Panasonic is Lowering Prices on Plasma TVs
Panasonic announced yesterday they would lower prices on some of their VIERA® plasma flat panel TVs, effective June 28th. In addition, they also announced combo bonuses, where consumers would be eligible for larger discounts on Panasaonic plasma TVs if they purchased other Panasonic products at the same time.
The plasma TVs in the discount program are the entry leve 42", 720p model, to be at an MSRP of $799, a $100 discount on a pretty darned nice 42" set at that price point.
If you really need a larger TV, than Panasonic has TVs in the 46 inch calss slated for discounts as well. The TCP46S1, formerly $1,499, is now $1,299; the TCP46G10, that had an MSRP of $1,699, will be reduced to $1,499; and the TCP46G15, formerly $1,799, will drop to only $1,599.
In other news from Panasonic, they announced their super slim 54", 1080p plasma TV, the TCP-54Z1 is now shipping and has an MSRP of $5,999. To get the TVs thin factor to fashionable levels, Panasonic removed some of the sets electronics and placed them in an outboard box. No worries about cabling though; Panasonic has equipped the unit with a wireless transmission system to send 1080p video up to 32 feet, so the outboard box can be located in a cabinet or on a shelf, with no wiring worries. Now you can finally put your TV on that stone fireplace like you've always wanted to. Just watch the height.
