I have to say, I was initially caught up in the hype of these panels. However, the price compared to what you get and the other available offerings (Panasonic), the justification is just not there. Also, did you all know that Panasonic is (or will be making) Pioneers panels?

Can anyone here really TRULY see any difference between the two? I don't think you can. Watching my Panasonic at home and seeing the Pioneer's in the store, the black levels are identical. Picture is identical.

I am not saying I am the all knowing in video, but my attention to detail is great. I can tell differences others would never see. I just don't see it. I am not knocking on Pioneer, I just don't think their panels justify a $3-6K+ expense.
