I've just finished spec'ing out some plasma monitors for some upcoming Avid presentations in Los Angeles.

Here is a good comparison point for commonly available plasma's:

None of them can do true HD resolution. The high-end Panasonic's come close, but they max out at 1366x768.

Hello,

There Plasmas that do offer HD resolution, there is a 42" and a 50 " from
Panasonic Broadcast that do.  If you would like to see the demo go to Times
Square Kenneth Cole Store Fronts.  HD footage of the runway is showing on
several 50" vertically mounted plasmas.

Best regards,

Jan
