The 54" Panasonic Z1 plasma (1" thin) is available now. Next year will bring even more plasma models for the "thin is in" crowd.

...I really care more about the picture. I realize "normal" consumers love thin: the thinner the better. But as long as display is thinner than a RP, I don't care much about the form factor - great PQ, unobtrusive bezel, I'm good.
Panasonic's best screen (I haven't looked at the specs on their new/upcoming broadcast models) is the 1 sheet of glass Z1. The electronics are the same as found on the V-series, but there's a special coating on the Z1 that makes it better for rooms with light control problems. If the lighting is dim/controlled or the room is dark, it's the same as the V-series (the coating has no relevance).
It's funny how people react to the thinning of displays. What really is the difference, once a flat panel is on a wall or on a stand, between a 3.5" panel and a 1" panel? The "WOW" factor? The coolness factor? It's immaterial to people who know better. However, once again, there are plenty enough $ involved for manufacturers to steer in this direction if it increases profit. I'm into the best quality for my $, not being cool or being part of the latest trend.
