Pioneer vs. Panasonic plasma


I'm in the market for a HD set and have been looking at LCD and Plasma and am probably going to buy a Pioneer plasma. The Pioneer (5070) just seems to have a better picture than any other plasma and most other TV's that I've seen.
Anyone else have any experiences to share on these sets?
Thanks,
Bill

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.
I've found AVS Forum extremely helpful. I agree that it is difficult to navigate; and, I find, particularly difficult to find information I need when I do a search. On the other hand, I've found it easier to use, and more helpful, as I've spent more time on it. Definitely worth it for me. The depth of information (on a forum) can be unsurpassed (in my experience). Ignorance? Well sure, there's some everywhere. Fanboys? I don't know what that means.
