Samsung has announced they'll be discontinuing production of Plasma
televisions[1], citing lack of demand. Panasonic has already quit, and it
seems LG is about to do the same. Samsung has declared:

"We plan to continue our PDP TV business until the end of this year, due to
changes in market demands. We remain committed to providing consumers with
products that meet their needs, and will increase our focus on growth
opportunities in UHD TV's and Curved TV's."

But wait, what about me? How am I supposed to watch all those great shows[2]
now?
