Panasonic's first entry into a 37" LCD TV is the TC-37LZ85, and interestingly enough it's 1080p with 3 hdmi inputs and uses IPS Alpha technology(One of the best made by a joint venture between Toshiba, Hitachi and Panny). It's been announced at this year's CES and coming out next month, so we'll soon see how Panasonic's serious attempt at an LCD fares in reviewer's hands. Places like Amazon are already selling it for preorders at $1300 which is a pretty decent price for a 1080p IPS display in this size, considering the Sharp 32" LC-32GP3U is right around there. Maybe someone who appreciates the color of IPS and doesn't mind the larger size will be satisfied with this display? It could also be an alternative to the NEC 26" given its high price.
