I am still frustrated by the fact that plasma resolution has not caught up to LCD. The plasmas that are 1080p are often more expensive than getting a compariably priced LCD now. Before anyone gives me a hate mail reply, I will preface it by saying that I really prefer 1080p resolution as I use it with an HTPC.
If there was a viable 1080p plasma in each size category when they were launched (or soon after) then no one would need to investigate other alternatives such as LCDs.
“Measuring 21.5 inches each, with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and optical multitouch technology under their chunky bezels, these two models represent the biggest mainstream push for touchscreen computing yet.”

I read the recent Panasonic release about their 42" 1080P plasma:

However, this will not be available for probably several months in the US and, in my mind, is about 1 year too late.
