Pioneer is all over plasma TV, and it looks like it’s going to launch its 8th-gen plasmas at an event in Rome this May. Pioneer kept going on and on at CES about how it wanted to make plasma the premier TV technology and this announcement should finally reveal what it’s been up to.

It used to be that I was sorta down on plasma, but companies like Pioneer and Panasonic, which showed off its new line of plasmas yesterday here in New York, have improved the technology to the point where I would buy one. That is, if I had any money to do so. (Plasma is still on the expensive side, you see.)
