There is no denying that the V10 is a awsome TV, though I would look towrds the new Samsung Plasma range as well. Also their 50 inch screens are just as good, and a bit cheaper.
If I waited before I did (wish I did) I would go for a 50 inch screen (trust me you I regreted it as soon as I adjusted to a 42 inch, or 46 inch) I would of gone for one of the new Sammys. Would loved to of got the Pioneer, but hey thats 2 grand!!!!
