Panasonic PT40LC12 40" 16:9 Widescreen Projection LCD Display
Outstanding &quot;almost-plasma&quot; HDTV
I've had this tv for over a month.  (Also purchased the new Onkyo 950 home theater package to go with it.)  While more than your average projection TV, this LCD rear-projection offers almost the same resolution as plasma.  The delivery guys from Best-Buy brought it to my house and set it up had never seen one before.  After we plugged it in and fired it up, both of them uttered, &quot;wow&quot; as the screen came alive.  They had set up two plasma tvs for NASA in the past, and both of them througt this Panasonic was as good .... with a lot less hassle than a plasma.<br />Reactions from new viewers on DVDs is predictable:  universal acclimation that it's a much. much better experience than in the theater.  Stunning clarity:  you will notice more visual details than in the theater.<br />It doesn't get any better than this, unless you're willing to fork over MUCH more money.  Couldn't be happier.
