Hi Charles,

I keeping my eye out for those. Would you think that the regular Pioneer 1080P (new) has the same contrast ratio as the Elite version?

I don't know for sure, but would assume that it does. I cannot imagine that Pioneer uses different "glass" for each model, as the tooling costs are incredible for that type of product.

I would suggest looking at www.avsforum.com . There are a lot of knuckleheads there when it comes to audio, but for video, they tend to be pretty detail-oriented. If you use the search function, you should be able to get a definitive answer as to the differences between the regular Pioneers and the Elites.

  As one of those (sometimes) knuckleheads, the glass is the same. According to the industry guys who were at the Pioneer line shows, the only real differences are some underlying electronics/calibration options, and the longer warranty (and cosmetics, of course). The general consensus over there is that the price difference (especially for actual "street" prices) does not justify going "elite."
