Tom, PM our good friend Ray3. I know he bought a 58" Panasonic Plasma (or was it a Pioneer? ) which he loves, but I don't know if it's the same model you are considering. He can tell you why he loves his. If that is indeed the same model he now owns, I'll bet he will be very jealous of that price.

I know "squat" about the JVC.
