You will be well served by searching out and reading the several reviews of the Pioneer, Panasonic and Sony. The answer partially depends upon your viewing conditions and what's most important to YOU. You can have more accurate colors, for example, at the expense of gray scale tracking.

Beware of one thing! Don't be misled by sets offering THX certification. Surprisingly, that is NOT a guarantee that the pictures will be identical. I have asked THX about this and they refuse to comment after telling me a few of the parameters which are considered in the rating.

I personally don't feel the Pioneer is worth the extra money and will probably get the Panasonic 800U.

I think the 850U is the non THX version. The 85U is also plenty good enough for most. Unlike the 850U it converts 24fps to 60fps and doesn't have some of the individual adjustments, etc. but it's still very good and even a better value for the average viewer.
