LG is set to bring an end to production of its plasma TV range, making it the last of the globe’s major tech giants to give up on the highly rated tech.
Yonhap News and The Korea Times have both reported the news. They’ve got word directly from Ha Hyun-hwoi, LG’s home entertainment chief, that the game is up for plasma. An official announcement is due imminently, most likely at IFA next week.
