What is the best 42"plasma Panasonic or Pioneer?
I am searching already for one year to buy a great home cinema package.
I am looking for a plasma prepared for High Def. with DVI/HDMI port for the best picture i can get. The problem is that i am confused between the new Pioneer PDP-434 HDE and the Panasonic Th-42PHD6UY , please help me i dont know which one to choose?
By the way i am looking for a great Universal DVD player(DVD-A and SACD) and ilink for the best sound. Firstival i was decline for the Pioneer DV-757Ai and the VSA-AX10i, but when i saw the picture in a Panasonic plasma i wasnt impressed, so if some body knows a better package, please tell me ?
My budget is 20.000 US/20.000 EUR/14.000 pounds.

Here is a sight which may help answer some of your questions http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/index.html Take time to go thru the "FAQ" section and the "BUYING TIPS" Dave |
At EDTV level, I pick Panasonic over Pioneer. At HDTV level, my eyes can't tell the difference as I watch HDNet on those two plasma panels. Based on deductive reasoning or elimination process, I would pick Panasonic HDTV over Pioneer HDTV due to the core competency at EDTV level (all components & features taken into consideration). How valid is such reasoning? No one knows unless some one performd a statistical study. Other than that, visit those websites and rely on those reviews done by professionals. Good luck. |
Swapwalker, It is entirely possible that at avsforum.com they suggest that the Elite is the same as an other model. However, I believe if you were to compare them, as I have compared thier models numerous times at any number of stores, you will agree that there is a sustantial difference in the picture quality. |
You know, I wasn;t paying much attention since I was just browsing, but go to AVS forum and you will find some FAQs on plasma TVs that will give you what you need. I will admit that I liked the Elite an awful lot when I saw it at Tweeters, but I am also cynical enough to believe that they have tweaked the Elite to look better and justify the price since they sell them both. I did not go into several stores, tho. |
