PZ80 and 85 are there, no preorder option.

Nothing as far as 800 and 850.

any idea the difference between 24p cinematic and 24p (2:3) ?

All the PZ's have a line for both in the spec sheet, however I havent seen one of them with a YES next to 24p Cinematic.

The new 30,000.1 contrast is cool but the 1,0000,000.1 Dynamic contrast is really cool

The PZ's all do the 24fps.

All of them should come with 4 HDMI ports in the 'back' of the TV & maybe the fifth one can be in the front for camcorder or what ever

I think I know what your asking its hard for me to explain. Anyway 3:2 pull down is how it was dealt with & still is in TV's with out the 24fps capability's . When they say cinema there talkin about ie: Blu-ray, there 1080p at 24fps so your getting even better than before....In your own opinion of course . Plasma's have such good PQ that my 50''720p/1080i looks so f-ing good it scary

! Then my 1080p sets are even better 50'' & up.

Looks like there will also be a 800 and 850?

Because at CES they talked about THX displays, and IP features. Gotta be the 800 and 850.

That may answer my question above about 24p.

maybe the 800 and 850 do the Cinematic?

I think the PZ80 and PZ85 dont do true 24p.

Plus the older gen 50" is $100 more then the new 50"!

Nice find!

I am looking forward to see some reviews of these new sets specially the new contrast ratio claims! Hope they get on the same level as the Pioneer (so that the Kuro prices fall!)

Also I hope that the 24p they announce is not a lame attempt to rename the 3:2 pull down conversion.
