While this topic was not my intent of the thread, I agree with you Beta. I own a 50" 768p Pio Elite Plasma and it blows away the 2 previous 1080p set I have owned. Also, I sit over 10ft away.
I was just trying to help out my dad, who was at Costco and wanted to buy a TV there. I told him to give me the model #'s and I would let him know what to do. The problem was that the model #'s are not found anywhere else. I did find the Panasonic model mentioned in my first post on Panny's site and after doing some research found that it is basically the same as the 42pz80u, but for $800, which I think is a great deal. I was going to point him in that direction (over the Vizio's) until I heard about the refurb units. Now I'm confused.
