New models are normally introduced at the January CES show. The Panasonic 2005 models are to be release now thru June. Which include:
TH-50PX500U
TH-42PX500U
TH-50PX50U
TH-42PX50U
TH-37PX50U
"The announcement of most interest to Panasonic fans is the “PX500U” series, which are set to arrive in June with the long-awaited “7/8” generation glass (same as ONYX series). The Panasonic TH-42PX500U and TH-50PX500U will carry unofficial list prices of US$4500 and US$5500, respectively.
A brief assessment of this plasma shows no screen-door effect at four feet, when viewing a 42-inch HD model. That’s due to Panasonic’s new “sub-pixel” technology, which reduces jaggies. No 37-inch will be available in the 500 series, but a lower-priced “PX50” series will. The 50 series offers different cosmetics but no SD or CableCARD slots. Both lines have terrestrial tuners and discarded the generally disliked “swept design.”
