Who has the best plasma monitor these days


I am looking to get a plasma monitor. I don't need a tuner within it. Just the screen. I have a cable tv supplier that already provides the HD tuner box with hdmi output. I am looking for a 42 or 50 inch screen. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks

So I have done a little research already. I see there are 2 types of 42" Pioneer Plasmas. Pro-950HD and PDP-4280HD. The same goes for the 50" size Pro-1150HD and PDP-5080HD. What makes the 2 indentical sizes differ by $700-$1000. It's too bad about Fujitsu. Why couldn't they just get their prices more competitive?
So I ended up getting the Pioneer Elite Plasma and I couldn't be more satisfied. I found it on sale for $1000 off of regular list price. I just got done viewing Cream at Royal Albert Hall (2005) in HD DVD and I can not get over the video and equally important audio. If you have the chance to see this dvd in HD it is a MUST. I was wondering if anyone out there has ever had their Pioneer professionally fine tuned and if so was there a big improvement? Curiosity is getting the better of me.
I ended up getting the Pioneer Elite and I coudn't be happier. The picture quality is amazing especially watching HD cable channels and HD dvds. Get one, you won't regret it.
