Someone mention Bang & Olufsen recently...

I have seen a few reviews on their sets and apparently they are extremely good performers, and I think they would have to be for the money that they charge. HERE is a review of one their plasmas. I would say based on this and other reviews that I've seen that they do perform better than Panasonic in general. Video processing has consistently been better than Panasonic in every B&O review I've seen, and we know that video processing is not Panasonic's strongest suit. Color accuracy is also better than Panasonic...something that Panasonic has also struggled with. Is the B&O worth twice the money? Not to me, but there's obviously a market for their sets. They also pack their TV's with a lot of high end features that you won't see in Panasonic sets...or Pioneer for that matter. I'd say their competition is more along the lines of Runco.
