Pioneer PDP-LX608D or Onkyo TX-SR875 scaler?

[admin_exported]

Ok, after extensive research I have decided to buy the Pioneer - after comparing many TVs in the shop this one seemed to have the most natural picture quality.  My question is this:  For SD material should I do the scaling by using the Onkyo's HQV Reon processor or should I leave it up to the Pioneer?

 

My final question is - The reason why I hesitated to buy the Pioneer was because it was a Plasma and was worried by burn in.  80% of what is on TV where I live is in 4:3 SD format.  If I watch it natively, the Pioneer has grey bars instead of black (which is supposed to be good to prevent burn in) - can I do that without having to worry too much about burn in? I could zoom the image which is not ideal but will do so if watching it natively significantly increases the chances of burn in.

Guys, the answer to this question is to try both and see which looks best to you.

The Pioneer fans all say what good scalers and picture processing their TV has. So I wouldnt have thought you needed to spend more money on another way of upscaling.

But then if you can afford it.....
