- Best TV I've Ever Owned
This HD TV has the clearest picture that I've ever seen. I also own a Panasonic 50" plasma and this TV far surpasses that one. I had Circuit City calibrate the Panasonic when they delivered it. Although I didn't think it needed it, I had them calibrate the Pioneer too. They were truly amazed at the clarity and richness of the colors and the crispness of the picture. They saw things that they had never seen before in their calibration program. All this after I had it for over a year. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.

- I'm no techie
I relied on other reviews here to make my decision. I thought I was committed to 1080p for a TV, but the Pioneer 720p is so good I can't imagine a better quality picture, also glad I went for plasma. Needed help from more tech saavy neighbor, there is no such thing as out of the box and plug it in with these TVs. Delivery was excellent, called ahead, box has device that turns red if any rough handling! But basically curbside delivery, will not take it up any stairs, so be prepared to have your own musclemen.

- Excellent picture
I ordered this tv, after reading reviews at a few websites, and decided on it after finding Cnet rated it very highly, and was on its excellent list. Has super deep rich black, the best they have tested yet. The room I have the tv in has very little glare, so a plasma was the way to go for me. It seems a little pricey, but I feel I got a good deal anyway. Its got more connectors than I will ever use too. I am happy.
I purchased from 6th Ave, and it arrived in good shape, through a freight company, who brought it to my home and in the door. We opened it, as it requires I do before I signed for it, and it was in fine shape, though some of the styrofoam packing had been broken. No complaints.

- The Greatest Plasma Screen Ever Made
I have had an eye on Pioneer plasma screens since I saw one for $40,000 8 years ago. They are phasing out the Kuro line in favor of a Panasonic screen that will be re-badged as a Pioneer TV after May '08. I decided to buy one right now and these are just a few of the many outstanding qualities of this TV:

1) TV Menu interface is incredibly feature rich with more options than most TVs yet easy to use. You can save color/contrast/brightness settings unique to each input device (i.e. Input 1, Input 2 etc.) and it remembers it.
2) The best color, contrast and picture of any TV anywhere ever made
3) Great overall build quality
4) No visible blurring
5) Good remote control with many features including TV Guide

The Amazon description is wrong and it is not 87 lbs and is in fact 1024 by 768. Resolution is still outstanding and better than some 1080i or even 1080 p models. There really isn't a single thing I would change on this TV which is amazing.

- Yep. It's really nice.
A nearly perfect TV. I almost pulled the sting on a top of the line 1080p LCD and I'm glad I didn't. If you are in the market for a 42-46 inch screen you can't go wrong with this one. The colors really pop because of the deep blacks and the total picture quality is beyond that of any other set I research both instore and online. I couldn't be any more pleased with the purchase.
