You can't evaluate this in the stores ...

but a BIG con with the Pioneer plasmas is the "buzzzzzzzzzzzzzing".

You young people watching "Amerikan Idiots" and "Die Hard With Explosions" won't notice this at home either

but for those of us who like the film experience -- deep silence is every bit as important as deep blacks

two thumbs down for the Kuro sets for being noisier than everyone else

with the new panasonic plasmas being very close in blacks and superior in color accuracy -- they win out overall for being quieter.

I'm wondering just how many Kuros you have listened to to make a statement like that? My friends is dead silent. Of six reviews on Kuros that I have read not one has mentioned the displays being noisy (including lab testing and measurements). Did you consider that maybe the one you heard had a problem? Maybe the power supply has problems. Maybe there's a ground problem or a noise problem (EMI/RFI) or the power being delivered to the display is dirty.

  Well perhaps you and your friends have more hearing loss than you know.
  
  I'm not the only one who is annoyed and distracted by the noisy Pioneer sets:
  
  "On another note, we did hear a very quiet, high-pitched hum coming from the Pioneer; the Panasonic plasmas, for example, were silent. The Pioneer was quieter than the sound of the fan on our PlayStation 3, but we could still hear it."
  
  -- c/net reviews
  
  As I said: most people won't be bothered by the buzzing Pioneer plasma -- because of the crap they watch.
  
  try watching 2001 space odyssey on your Pie-on-ear ...
  
  ...try not to be distracted by the buuuuusssssssssssszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
