Thanks Pete, good to hear.I'm soooo close to going for the Panasonic. However, I just found out
a local dealer is getting the new Pioneer 43" Plasma in. This hot-off-the-press model has a 1024x768 pixel count - the first plasma of it's size to do so as far as I know (as opposed to the "fake" hi-def resolution schemes used by the Sony and Fuji plasmas). Real HDTV in a wife-friendly size. (Still, I doubt I'd be the least disappointed by HD on the Panasonic).Should be interesting and....choke....expensive.
Rich.
Follow Ups:
...I just saw the Pioneer about a week ago in a local dealer in a darkened room with progressive scan DVD as source (Castaway). I could (and did) play with video settings. Two observations.1. It clearly has higher recolution and less of a sense of seeing pixels at close range than the Panny.
2. It does not do the Panny's black. Dark gray at best. Not as bad as a nearby Sony I compared it too, but nowhere near as good in a darkened room as the Panny. The first night scene on the island in Castaway literally looked broken - greyblue and washed out with no black for contrast. Yeech. Too bad.
I still can't help but think that in about 2 years (Maybe 1. Hell, maybe 6 months) the Panny's black level and Pioneer's resolution will be available in one TV. Thats the one I'll buy. But I have to admit the Panny is damn tempting right now...
