Pioneer PDP-4280XD Vs PDP-428XD

[admin_exported]

Hi,

Was wondering wehther anyone has any idea whether the picture quality of the 4280XD is that much different to the 428XD? On the Pioneer website you can compare both models - the 428XD has a couple of extra connections and "Advanced 42-inch Kuro" as opposed to standard on the 4280XD. Also What-hifi also gave rave reviews on the 428XD but haven't got round (and probably won't get round to) to reviewing the 4280XD - which is the later model.

The question is, if you are not bothered about the extra connections, can you really justify the extra £300 price tag for the 428XD? Can the picture qualitywith the "Advanced 42-inch Kuro" engine be really worth the extra dosh and would you really notice the difference?

It's highly unlikely that anyone has made the comparison side-by-side of the two panels but if anyone has an opinion, please let me know.

Ta.

It's more a 'TV and Projectors' question than 'Home Cinema' and has been discussed at great length. Go to the tv forum and type PDP-4280XD in the search box at the top. Plenty to read, which should help you decide.

unfortunately it seems that the good people of the Mag have no idea. I asked the same question but about the 50" screen and had not much response. http://whathifi.com/forums/t/7619.aspx now rightly or wrongly i have gone for the 5080XD as it does not need the visit from the Pioneer person to set it up.
