Pioneer LX508D

Pioneer PDP 508 XD

Panasonic PZ700

No mention of budget.

I am currently looking at the samsung range for the very same reason. If you like the high gloss finish and their 50" has had good reviews in what hi-fi

Well I have the SAMSUNG PS-50Q97HDX and I must say that it is a great screen and seeing as you can get it for just over a grand it offers great value for money as well.

He just asks for the best although I have to agree that even that is open to interpretation?

I am sure a few will argue that the commercial screens warrant a look too

Also no mention of what he intends to hook up to it either.

The Pioneer pdp 508xd fits comfortable within budget

If you can wait till it comes down in price or find another £500 the LX508D would be the ultimate

Well, I have a wee update for you - I went and bought the Panny 50PZ700 today as i was getting frustrated at waiting for somewhere to have the Pioneer LX508 in stock.

I am completely blown away. The HD is superb and SD upscaled from my SKY HD box is amazing. Wasn't expecting this to be so good.

The Pioneer would have cost £3500 and I paid about half that for the Panny. Even IF the Pioneer was better, its not worth double the money. I doubt i would be able to actually SEE any improvement with my eyes.

I have, after months of reading and research on forums, finally settled on the right TV for my main lounge. What a relief I can tell you.

If you don't mind me asking doopydug, where did you get a deal as good as that, I had trouble tracking down a 42PZ700 at that price?

It was at Costco my friend - they have a great 3 year warranty with their TVs too
