Panasonic's plasmas also have a 10,000:1 contrast ratio

Lest you think that Sony is the only company rocking a plasma display with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, we should point out that Panasonic has them as well, in the form of the 42-inch TH-42PX60U and 50-inch TH-50PX60U. Both have resolutions similar to the Sony we peeped earlier today; the 42PX60U is 1024x768, and will sell for about $2,499 when it hits stores later this year. The 50-inch TH-50PX60U (pictured) is 1366x768 and will go for about $3,500.
