That's right.  May full HD sa 65" and 50" plasma, pero wala pang available na full HD sa 42" plasma.  Mas madali kasi gumawa ng full HD for larger size plasmas. The bigger the panel, the bigger the gas chamber per pixel and subpixel.

Sa 42" plasma, the highest resoultion is only 1024x1080 by Hitachi.  That is, if you count only the models already available.

Strictly speaking, if you include prototypes, meron nang 42" 1920x1080 ang Panasonic plasma.  It was displayed as a prototype at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2007 in Vegas.

pd9500 is down to 103k with trade in at LIS and audible illusions among others. 6 months  ZERO interest pa! Comparatively speaking a 32 inch Sony lcd is still at 99k zero interest daw sa Abenson. Sa US a 32 inch set is under 45k. I think kung walang bibili sa mga chain stores na nagbebenta nang OVERPRICED na panels, price will come down very quickly. Remember 1080p sets are just around the corner, manufacturers will unload units with lower resolution.

Pina demo ko yung Hitachi with a PS 3 using the 1080P feature. The PQ is not something you'd hope for.
