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.
