Pioneer vs. Panasonic plasma


I'm in the market for a HD set and have been looking at LCD and Plasma and am probably going to buy a Pioneer plasma. The Pioneer (5070) just seems to have a better picture than any other plasma and most other TV's that I've seen.
Anyone else have any experiences to share on these sets?
Thanks,
Bill

Recently purchased the Panasonic TH50-PX60U... very pleased with it.

You can't really lose with either the Pana or Pioneer models.

I ultimately chose the Pana because it was somewhat cheaper (although the Pioneer had a slightly better PQ - by a nose) and it outperformed the Pioneer in standard def - which we will be stuck with for a little while longer.

Good Luck with your purchase!
Hi Goatwuss,

I found that NOTHING compares to actually checking the stuff out yourself in a store.

I check out AVSFORUM for news and issues regarding certain items and it is adequate for that use.

However, I find that you should take ALL forums with a grain of salt until you get to know who (or what) you can trust.

I did find that some tech stuff that was posted saved me a TON of time in doing some non-detailed "calibration" of some settings for my plasma.

Of course, like anything, YMMV.

Mr_Bill,

I believe that the only differences between the Panasonic 60U and the 600U are the PC inputs.

You can check http://www.panasonic.com for the info under the Television section - tech specs.

If you really want somewhat better quality and want a Panasonic, you may want to wait for the 1080P sets that should be out soon.

Good Luck,
