Thanks for the reply, Ron.

I hadn't considered an LCD RPTV until recently when I saw a great deal
on a Sony 55" Grand Wega (which I missed out on). I was just looking at
the price on the Panasonic and was thrown when I couldn't find any
product reviews for it anywhere.

I'm a big fan of DLP myself and would like to pick up a unit in the next
few weeks. I have had my old Sony 51" rear-projection unit for two years
now (hard to believe that's old in this field!) and am now ready to move
up to a larger screen.
