yes panasonic has had a 1080p plasma for like 4 months and plasma tv's don't use plasma they use phosphorous gas, LCD's are better because they are not prone to burn in however new plasmas don't really get burn in that much anymore 1080p is what you want your new tv to be, although toshiba has released XHD tvs but dlp weighs a $*** load and can't be wall mounted but neither can Panasonics 103" plasam but I aint complaining
