My point was that until Pioneer developed their Kuro tech, Panasonic was #1 re: the glass for plasma displays. Even Fujitsu's best models started their life at a Matsushita factory. And throwing money at a technology doesn't guarantee success (prime example: Pioneer, their business model didn't work despite the quality gains via Kuro tech).

As for Panasonic implementing all of patents they purchased from Pioneer, only they know if it's going to happen. And even if they do, there's no reason to implement everything at once (though I'm sure most people would prefer that they did, myself included). I'll give Panasonic the benefit of the doubt.

Panasonic is the last hope for plasma. LG may have another year or two left, but I doubt they'll remain much longer than that. I wouldn't buy a Samsung product with someone else's money.
