Best "Consumer" 42 / 46 inch class Display

[Dan Kanes]

Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for best "consumer class" 42 or 46 inch display?

Panasonic Plasma
Panasonic IPS Alpha LED Display
Panasonic IPS Alpha LCD Display

Something else?

I think all of the above are capable of 10 bit color... Will research more closely soon.
Any opinions?

The best pro-sumer quality Plasma from Panasonic starts at 50" - VT series.
If it's not for grading and just watching pretty pictures, you could buy a cheap LG and be happy.

Can you show me the difference between the ST Series and VT series?

This 42" ST has X.V. Color, Deep Color, "Pro Setting", 3D color management (LUT ability?) - seems to be the best "prosumer" in its class.

Not trying to be argumentative - I quickly figured out why NOT to get the IPS LED and LCD panels after reading deeper, but this seems pretty good for "basic" grading.

I would join this question - is this VT series Panasonic is best option ? what about other plasmas from Panasonic ?
