Are plasma TV's being phased out?

Catch this ad posted by Panasonic recently. I can't remember one manufacturer ever promoting one tech (plasma) over another (LCD):

That's a nice ad. The people who own lcd's would argue some of those points I'm sure. To have an AX to grind, you need an "E" at the end **LOL** Even though it's an alternate spelling it's just wrong.

I knew all about these LCD issues mentioned in the ad....ghosting, poor blacks, color depth, screen fagility, viewing angle.....but had no idea about mercury. As long as the mercury stays inside the display, I don't care. I do think it's ironic that Panasonic believes LCDs should be limited to kitchens, home offices and small bedrooms while most here see it as the holy grail......LOL. Hey, they make both, right?
