I'm a long time satisfied Panasonic plasma user. I've had a 42'' PHD8 for some 8 years and a 42'' G20 for a few years. Now I'm about to get a 50-55'' TV for a third location. A good Panasonic was my obvious choice, but I fear I may be a little late. One local (Finnish, that is) store had a 50GT60 for sale at a great price for a while but as I was considering it, they ran out of stock and don't seem to be getting any more. Another store had very few 55VT60 sets for a great price as well but that offer ended and the stock is also now close to zero. Many stores still have ST models available, but I wanted a GT or a VT - and at a good price.

Since I'm beginning to fear I'm out of luck trying to find a good price on those Panasonics any more, I've started considering other options. But I'm really out of touch regarding where LCD/LED is today. Any suggestions which brands and models to consider? What LCD/LED could satisfy someone who likes plasma IQ? I'm currently watching 90% standard def digital TV, the remaining being blu-rays and Netflix with an AppleTV 3. No gaming.

Thanks.
 
Have you considered a Samsung plasma e.g. the F8500? Otherwise, the next step is OLED...which starts getting expensive.
