Best Plasma sony,pioneer.Panasonic ?

General perception is the Panny is the best bang for the buck, the Fujitsu is slightly better (still uses Panny glass btw) and costs significantly more.

Buy a Panny and buy an HD-DVDO and you will outperform the Fuji i think.

btw, the Runco is a Pioneer and in no way looks better than these two. Turn down the lights if you really want to see what is going on....

However, to each his own...

I will concede to Kal that I am speculating on HD-DVDO/Panny performance vs. the Fujitsu.

Yes, you have another box, albeit only 1 cable to the panel, so I think it depends on the installation which way is easiest.

I have debated getting an HD-DVDO to try out...but audio has my focus right now :) I don't think the scaling is bad on the Panny for what its worth--certainly better than my former JVC SX21 projector. I watch mostly HD, so that has been my hiccup on scalars. Only the better Faroudjas/Runcos/KDs etc right now scale HD. My eye is definitely on the new Lumagen that said...
