pioneer makes excellent plasma displays. the contrast and color are really incredible. but you will pay for it. i didnt have the flow to do that right now so i went with an lg pc3d. i love it so far, and for the price i got it, minus the 400.00 mail in rebate, i am at the price of an lcd, with a warranty for 3 years etc etc.
if anyone is looking for a tv go to speaker shop on main st. my friend matt is THE most knowledgable person when it comes to home audio/video. he will be competitive with price and at the very least can steer you in the right direction with what you are trying to achieve. i would not go aywhere else to buy something, even if it saved me 100.00 because i trust him 100% and know he wouldnt steer me wrong.
the lg rebates are on till the end of the month.
