Yes the panasonic 42" HDTV plasmas are selling at $4500 on the web. Yet next to Pioneer's Elite sets, to my eyes this is the best looking line. Honestly I feel Panasonic looks far better than the non-elite pioneer models. I have been shopping as my TV died on Dec 21 st, yet my wallet isn't ready to make a commitment. And I still want to see Princeton Graphics enhanced 46" set.
Good Luck!
