Product summary
We have not reviewed the Pioneer PDP-4280HD, but we have reviewed the 50-inch version. We expect the two to deliver similar picture quality. Aside from screen size, the main difference between the two panels is that the 42-inch model does not have a detachable speaker; its speaker is fixed.

CNET editors' take
We have not reviewed the Pioneer PDP-4280HD, but we have reviewed the 50-inch version. We expect the two to deliver similar picture quality. Aside from screen size, the main difference between the two panels is that the 42-inch model does not have a detachable speaker; its speaker is fixed. Also, the 42-inch version has a lower
native resolution, 1,024x768 vs. 1,366x768, but we don't expect that to have a significant impact on performance. For more details, check out our
full review of the Pioneer PDP-5080HD.

Summary: Pioneer's 8th-generation plasma is no hype... the PDP4280XD offers the best post-calibration picture quality I've seen to date.

Summary: When the PDP-4280HD's price comes down--which should happen pretty quickly--this model will become significantly more attractive.
