Panasonic to ship Z1 plasma, world's most advanced HDTV
Who says plasma screens are dead? While Pioneer and Vizio are abandoning the format, Panasonic plans to offer this TC-P54Z1 plasma in June. With its wireless HDMI in 1080p, 1-inch thickness, THX certification, Internet connectivity, and 24Hz cinematic playback, it's undoubtedly the world's most advanced HDTV.
Our only nitpick: It'll only be available in a 54-inch screen size. We want a 72-incher! That said, it sure looks like a lot of TV for $6000, and if that's going to break the bank, at least this set has some power-saving "Neo PDP" tech on board.
This might be as good as it gets until the big OLED screens come along in a couple of years.
