In one of the weirder press releases we’ve ever received, Runco sent out an announcement late last month “reaffirming its commitment to custom flat-panel displays” (that’s a direct quote).  The release went on to say, “Runco… has confirmed its unyielding commitment to deliver premium flat-panel displays to the custom installation industry. In a marketplace where an increasing number of video display manufacturers are exiting the custom flat-panel market in favor of mass market retail or discontinuing their flat panel product lines altogether, Runco remains focused on providing its dealers with the highest-performing luxury video displays for custom application and viewing environment.”

Now, this is either a reaction to rumors that Runco is going to discontinue flat-panel marketing or, more likely, a notice to the market that they are still here – in the high-end flat panel market.

You be the judge of that.  But, in case you want to read the PR yourself, go here.
