Panasonic confirms Plasma ends 2014
I guess this means the BV12-NG will have a very short life.
More likely LCD.
Or maybe we won't see a BV12 MK3.
But a BV14 with OLED starting at 46" and then 55"..........

Think bigger, my dear...;)Or maybe we won't see a BV12 MK3. But a BV14 with OLED starting at 46" and then 55".......... MM There is a tv - and there is a BV.
More likely LCD.
I doubt that.
If they continue with the BV 12 range, it will most likely be OLED. No need for B&O to make another range with LCD/LED.
Plasma has always been better than LCD/LED when it comes to Black level and natural colors.
The picture from an OLED screen is closest to Plasma. The problem with OLED has been that it - until now - has been too expensive in large format. But as the prices are falling, it makes good sense to let OLED take over.
I guess the only reason Panasonic stops making plasma panels is that OLED takes over it's place. They are not going LCD/LED-only like so many other manufacturers did.
Plasma screens has always been preferred among film enthusiasts.
My B&O Icons:
The only large format OLED currently are 55" and they are curved. Reviewers say this distorts the picture making the viewing experience less pleasant. Also OLED suffer from burn in like plasma and CRT. Currently these OLED screens are from LG and Samsung. B&O buys LCD from Samsung so maybe they would go for their OLED?
More likely I would expect B&O to go for a 4K LCD screen. These now are made in 65" and 84" sizes by LG and Samsung and are flat. Samsung's 65" retails for $4999.99 now. This is very reasonable compared to the BV12NG.
