While 2007 was a big year for plasma, this year has been a little quiet. The focus amongst manufacturers is almost solely on LCD, with Panasonic perhaps the most noticeable exception -- especially after the recent Pioneer deal.
For years plasmas squandered in SD hell (or worse!), but now -- in the hands of Pioneer and Panasonic -- they are available in full 1080p definition, and for a more affordable price.
For our money, the Pioneer PDP-LX508A is the best of this bunch as it has a superior mix of image quality, features and price. However, it's about to be replaced by a new model, so if they'res any still left in the market snap them up.
Most TVs here are full high-definition, but all are capable of displaying 720p/1080i resolutions -- which is the most free-to-air is capable of right now. But all offer a good mix of features and performance for the price
