Anyone seen/heard about the new Panasonic 50" 1080P Plasma?

Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone's heard any words good or bad bout the new Panasonic TH-50PZ700U. It looks quite promising, and I might want to make the jump to it this year, as I have internal connections to get a decent price.
Haven't seen much on the web about it yet, so I thought I'd post here. :D

I just ordered the Panny myself, will be sure to post a review. I also ordered your Denon reciever and DVD player...lame question - do i need a 1080P DVD player now that I have a 1080P TV? I keep reading how people still opt to run 720 or 1080i...thanks.

This Tv looks awesome. My brother is actually going to pick it up this weekend if anyone has a good laborday sale going on. Newegg has it for$2,399.99 and $100 shipping.

The Panasonic Plasma is really nice. I think Panasonic makes the best value in Plasams today. There sets are top notch and for the money , they can't be beat.

I've been holding off on making the jump on any plasma or LCD until the release of SED TV technology (Surface conduction Electron emitter Display).
No news yet but hopefully these new displays will be out sometime early next year. That's the rumour anyway. My best guess is it's going to be even more competitive in the HD arena and we'll hopefully see even more competive prices in Hi-Def as more manufacturers will be competing when these puppies hit the market.

No, you don't have to make a change with your DVD player. The 1080p tvs will upscale to 1080p any video signal input to them.
