Summary: I have had this 58\" plasma for 2 weeks now after upgrading from a Panny 50\" plasma. The clarity, sharpness,and color cannot be matched (except possibly by the Pioneer Elite series). Purchased from Visual Apex (highly recommended)for $2090. plus shipping. You do need to be at least 10' away to enjoy watching this 58\" unit (14\" is optimal for me). Buy a great home theater system, a mount, cables and you're set.
