Monitor Outlet for the TV.
According to D-Nice at the AVSForums, this TV PQ is nearly identical to the Elite. It is a MONITOR which means it doesn't have a tuner, some outlets, a stand mount and a few other things. Which for most people, isn't a problem since their cable box or w/e does the channel changing.
Amazon's pricing for these monitors doesn't appear to be competitive unless they've changed it in the last few weeks.
For a receiver...there may be some marginal benefit to going to Pioneer as I think the TV works with it...same with the BD player. The Denon is a fine fine receiver, but it is NOT user friendly. I am pretty technical and this thing was a pain to setup, not to mention the manual requires a phD in physics to read and understand. The Pioneer, and other brands, may be a bit more plug and play/user friendly.
Unless you're a hardcore technical type, I'd go with Pioneer/Onkyo/etc I paid $500 for my receiver and it seems to have all the capabilities and quality I need.
