That cheap Seiki 4K display won't do tiling for PC 60Hz support will it? Apparently, all the PC 4k monitors use tiling with twin HDMI connections to do 60Hz. Waiting for HDMI 2.0 sucks.

I'm sure Panasonic will just replace dead plasma TVs with a similarly priced LCD.

It's too bad really, this really is a huge setback for picture quality and the issues with plasma are all long fixed. I convinced my parents to replace their dying living room TV with Panasonic plasma and they liked the quality so much they ended up buying a second to replace their semi-busted bedroom TV a month later.

55-60" OLEDs are maybe 3-4 years from being in a practical price bracket. And I'm convinced the wear and tear issues and failure rate on the first few generations of OLED is going to be as bad as early plasma, maybe worse. I do wonder if 4K is the defining factor here, apparently a 4K plasma would be a total power hog.
