I've read the last gen 1080p's were a little dim and had lower contrast ratios, looks like they are upping the ante. I owned a Panny 42" EDTV Plasma 4 years ago and loved it.
Since these are coming out soon, its another tv I have to decide over

The TH-50PZ85 interests me.The VIERA PZ85 series includes three screen sizes, all with 1080p resolution - the 42-inch class TH-42PZ85, the 46-inch class TH-46PZ85 and the 50-inch class TH-50PZ85. These full HD Plasma televisions feature an improved native contrast ratio of 30,000:1; Game Mode; VIERA Link; an SD memory Card slot and a PC input. In addition, the speakers are now hidden in the front.
