The one that you want is the S1, it just came out a few weeks ago, and Best Buy has it on their website, but it isn't in stock yet.

Not quite - Panasonic is listing the motion resolution - in other words how many lines of a moving picture can be resolved.

Most CCFL-LCD sets score around 300~500 lines of motion resolution, but not many people would say they're not a "true 1080 display".

The Pioneer KURO sets score 880~920 motion resolution, just like the U1, but they're 1080p sets. Any set with a 1920x1080 progressive panel like the U1 is a true 1080p set. It will pass a 1080p bandwidth testing, displaying all 1920x1080 pixels of a static image.
