helping a local guy pick out a new set and suggesting that if he can find room for a 42 inch set, to go with the Panasonic plasma. But I'm delighted with the 32 inch Panasonic LCD in my exercise room and have noticed no artifacts of the type others describe, The blacks seem very black on axis, to charcoal gray way off axis. Meanwhile, I've always been very happy with the CRT projection display on my Sony in the den, and run a Panasonic AE100U 720p LCD projector in my "main" projection room.
Interestingly, I haven't seen any Panasonic LCD sets bigger than 32 inches in the stores, only 26- and 32-inch models. And then everything in panasonic 42 inches and above becomes Plasma. I think if you want a 37 incher you are forced into other brands.
My Panasonic LCD is made in their plant in Mexico, and I suspect the Plasma panels might be as well.
