Yes, you can find plasmas with a higher resolution or a bigger screen, but last year, our highest rating for a plasma TV went to an EDTV, the Panasonic TH-42PD25U/P. For 2005, Panasonic is releasing an updated version, the TH-42PD50U. It doesn't have any major feature upgrades, but it does have different styling and a lower price.
