2. Is noise a problem on this model?
In August Matsushita announced that the TH-65PX500 scheduled to release Nov 01 in Japan would be Full HD at 1080p. Expect US release in about Spring 2006 (my calculations). Very true there is no 1080p material yet but guarantee you 100% as others on this forum can vouch, 1080p displays will show 1080i and 720p material better. A Porsche could hum in 3rd gear going at the same speed as a Hyundai and be smoother.

As for Sharp LCD vs. Panasonic or even Pioneer Plasma? You will need to judge for yourself. The Sharp has a better resolution and higher contrast ratio (sharper picture with more detail) but the Panasonic and Pioneer Plasmas have more vibrant colors. I prefer the Sharp LCD. However, the colors of the Plasmas are gorgeous.
