- Awesome Plasma
I bought this tv from a local dealer here in Ohio. I have to say, this is my 3rd plasma, and it's the best I've ever owned. Incredible value for the money. I paid almost this much for a 50" nec in february, and this thing is 60" and so much better as far as picture quality, blacks, colors, no image retention (which for non-tech readers, is the precursor to burn-in, which is a permanent image scarring on the tv). I have HD from Time Warner and it looks like you're looking out a window. Our main seating area is about 8-10' from the screen. It has a 15 pin Dsub connector for connecting a computer. I have my PC connected to it, and it is awesome to surf the web at 60" of screen. Coupled with a Gyration mouse and keyboard, this is the ultimate computer monitor.

- The Lexus of HDTVs
I've had this 60" set for a week now, and it impresses in every way. First and foremost, the picture quality is 100 out of 100; Pioneer really is ahead of every other plasma manufacturer, Panasonic included (although they're close). The colors are natural, and even the standard def channels look excellent. The appearance, with the shiny black bezel, is fitting for a luxury brand. It also sets off the picture in a way silver bezels cannot. There are enough HDMI and component plugs to keep the set viable for 15+ years. The speaker bar at the bottom sounds excellent. Everything about the construction and features is first rate. If Lexus put their name on a TV, this would be it.

This has been available for about 7 months, and is in the last `third' of its availability. This is good news in regards to price. Although some retailers still offer this at $6500, quality online dealers offer it at $4200-4500, an excellent deal, and unthinkable even 4 months ago. I'm not sure how much further they will realistically go.

The 2007 Pioneer sets are coming out in late summer, I think, and the big buzz is about 1080p (vs. 768p for this set). Expect a higher MSRP ($7500?), and limited initial availability. Also, I've seen the one current 50" 1080p Pioneer set at the store (a cool $8,000), and really, from 6-8 feet away, there is scant improvement over this set. You have to be right on top of it studying the picture to notice (and have a 1080p source like HD_DVD, and have the content shot/mastered in 1080p). Given the just-reduced price of this 60" plasma, if you're thinking of jumping in, now is actually a terrific time.
