    "You won't find anything better at the moment, well worh the price"

    Pros: Great Color/Picture/Sharpness

    Cons: A bit of red push depending on the source

    Summary: Got it at Best Buy after returning my 60 inch sony kds.

    Best Buy matched the price I found on ebay $7,260 +tax retail in the store was $9,995.

    The color/picture is INCREDIBLE and I don't use that word very often about anything, in both hd and dvd movies. There is a red push depending on the source programming I only noticed it on one tv show with the people's skin tones in a dark bar scene besides that haven't noticed it on any other programming, I haven't gone into the settings to tweek yet just got it a week ago. Out of the box I went through the predefined color presents (DYNAMIC (defaulted I think, all the settings color contrast are sharpness are maxed out, picture will look amazing), GAME (reduced contrast and color), MOVIE (reduced contrast and color), PURE (no filters or upconversion just the source signal hence "pure").

    Well worth the extra $3,000 I was going to pay for the older pioneer elite they had next to it on the wall, I can't wait for the 60 incher to come out. My buddy with his 60 inch plasma said he would my 50 inch Pro-FHD1 to replace is 60inch.

    Still waiting for the hd dvd players to come down in price.

    I don't say this very often but I am VERY SATISFIED.

    P.S. I live in south florida with really severe power storms make sure you get a battery back up surge protector 1500va 850volts to help protect it.

    You and your friends must all be lawyers or doctors to think that this is a good deal. What has happened to Pioneer? They used to be a supplier of excellent products(not the absolute best high end) for a reasonable price. They have abandoned a large portion of their customer base.

    Make sure you get a calibrating disk or a pro to calibrate your display correctly. It will make a huge difference with good material.

    You owe it to yourself.
