Also, with plasmas, you do NOT have problems with motion blur, lag times, limited viewing angles and poor black levels common to LCD TVs. And, yes, by March, the new 2010 sets should be arriving with updated technology. And, one major factor comes into play - Panasonic has purchased the licensing and technology from Pioneer for their Kuro series ( along with hiring the technicians ), and have been implementing it since April of this year. This technology should be present in their 2010 HDTVs. Pioneer Kuros have long been acknowledged as the pinnacle of state-of-the-art HDTVs. What is great now, should be even better next year.

I agree with most of what you said. The Pioneer Kuro KRP-500M is the best display money can buy (though it only comes in a 50").

Followed by the Pioneer Pro 151/141 Elite series. The Samsung 8500 ranked almost as high as the Pioneer's, but I still say the best bang for someone is the V10 series which in my opinion is one of the best displays I've seen. Think about it. You can get a 58" V10 for around 2200.00 if you know where to look. The 55" Samsung is roughly 3300.00 (Price I can get for people) or roughly 3600.00. So, that's more than a thousand dollar difference and you are getting a bigger display! It's a no brainer. Plus if you do your research, you will find that the Samsung's are having displays (crop circle issues) at this time. Yes, it's actually called "crop circles" and Samsung is supposedly coming out with a firmware to fix it.

If you look hard enough, The 60" Pioneer Elite's 141/151 can be found for around 3900.00. (That's what I got mine for)

Oh, BTW, Panasonic will NOT be using Pioneer's technology with there displays. They have gone on record saying the technology is to pricey and to hard to produce. Panasonic likes their assembly line to move fast and if they went with Pio tech, it would slow it down considerably. (that is a fact unfortunately)

Peace,
