Pioneer vs. Panasonic plasma

Go for the Pioneer 5070..you won't be disappointed. I found that when comparing the Panasonic to the Pioneer plasma, the Pioneer had more accurate colors (perhaps a better color processor or different glass) and definitely a more attractive bezel. Whichever set you decide on, make sure you buy from an authorized dealer. I can refer you to where I purchased mine at a good price, just send me an email. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Either one will be good. Contrary to the above poster, I'd recommend 'not' going over to avsforum. AVSforum is the place of fanboys and ignorance for the most part.

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.

I find avsforum really hard to navigate. There are streams of posts, often in conversational style. It's as though you walked into the middle of a discussion, but don't know what's being discussed. You find posts that read: I went to the store today and they didn't have it, said it would be two weeks. I much prefer the layering used by Audio Asylum.

I totally disagree with Goatwuss as to everone over at avs forum as being "the place of fanboys and ignorance". When I needed help with video issues, there was always someone who offered suggestions and help.
