Well just to add to the mix I recently acquired a 50 inch LG plasma (50PC3D). Picked it up from the local Bestbuy who had matched the price at Visions. It's not quite as good as the Panny but it was also only $2288 CDN, which was a little over $400 cheaper than the Panasonic Plasma. For the $$$ it looks very good.
