Interestingly the current issue of The Perfect Vision ranks the 60" Zenith plasma (DPDP60W) as a "recommended" product with a Class 2 rating. This means that it is a product that "still offers excellent performance, but is a step down from the ultimate....". I saw a 60" Zenith (or 61"?) in Florida several months ago and was not impressed, BUT I saw a 60" (probably the same model quoted here) at the N.Y. Home Theater show last month and was quite impressed. I'm not sure if this is a new model or the same model I saw in Florida. Whatever it was (new model, different setup, whatever) it looked FAR better in N.Y. I can't recall how the blacks looked. From what I saw in N.Y., at $15,000 or less, this might be a nice buy.
