yes. Panasonics are as good or better. they tend to be more stripped-down feature-wise (which is why many businesses love to use them as display panels) for the power consumer, but the picture quality is top notch.

also, for plasma, LG/Vizio is making tremendous improvements in their picture qualities (not sure if they are offering 1080p yet though) for a super-low price. my 50-inch plasma is from them...i never thought i would buy a big flatscreen because of the ridiculous prices, but LG's units are unmatched when it comes to price/performance ratio
