What is currently the best 42" flat panel display under $3000?

It's quite a horserace between the Pannasonic and Pioneer panels.
If you value black level higher than color accuracy, go with the Panny.

One thing I would advise is looking at the Panny 50" panels. The TH-50PHD8UK comes a la carte (you need to add connection options, stand, etc.) for $2800. That's quite a deal!

The best 42" plasma I've seen has been the Fujitsu, but that's well above $3K. Its motion tracking is superb.
