It will be interesting to see the quality of pixel-processing on this model. In Japan, the 42" size is the most popular, so from a strictly marketing point of view, it makes more sense to release it to the Japanese market only, and not in the U.S. (we'd want a larger size screen). Resolution is really only half the issue with panels under 50". At CES in January, Pioneer showed their 1024x768p panel against Sony's Japan-market-only 1080p reference LCD, and all the press from various trades and online blogs I was with couldn't stop taking about how the Pioneer had much better detail than the double-the-resolution Sony. I've seen plenty of other tests conducted by other brands which prove that at typical viewing distances, no one can tell the difference between a 720p 42" and a 1080p 42". Where the differences become clear are in how each pixel driver process the source signal.
