Nevertheless, it remains the case that HD plasma sets are being promoted and marketed as if they provide the same resolution as HD rear projection HDTVs, which is misleading, to say the least. It's also true that the prices for HDTV panels are substantially higher than those for RP HDTV projection sets with displays of equivalent size and resolution.

You scolded me for not researching this issue on avsforum. - Actually, I have referred to avsforum regarding this and other issues, and I had bookmarked the site long ago. However, I haven't seen these particular issues discussed. I'll certainly admit that I may not have been sufficiently diligent in my search on avsforum and other sites, and I'll try harder in the future. (Actually, I hadn't realized that we are supposed to research our questions on other sites before asking them on AA.)

Why did I ask the questions? I have been impressed with some of the high end panels, and I would be interested in getting one in the future if it has the same resolution and size as my present set. (I have large dipole speakers, and I think that a panel HDTV mounted on the wall, in place of my present RPTV, would result in better sound.) I'm also looking for further information about the Sony SXRD projection system, which I understand may be introduced next year in rear and/or front projection sets, and is said to provide true 1080x1920 displays with substantial improvements in brightness and contrast, even when projecting a large image.

The 70-inch Samsung with 1080 x 1920 resolution sounds like a great choice. - Do you have a rough estimate of the expected price?
