PQ on the JVC is better in my opinion. It's the best of all the sets I tested. The Panny PDP's are great units at a pretty darn good price but on a straight price/performance basis the PDP can't compete. As far as aesthetics the PDP wins hands down. The JVC is about 14" deep plus you need to keep the back of it a few inches off the wall. Not nearly as big as a CRT RPTV but it can dominate a room.

PS: I'm too lazy to go through the rigmarole of hauling 7 sets to my house and returning 6.
