Currently Pioneer is still the best brand with the Elite Kuro line of Plasmas, but they have been discontinued (Fortunately I got my Elite Kurolast December). Since Pioneer is leaving the TV market a good number of their staff moved to Panasonic, though Pioneer still has the patents for the Elite Kuro, Panasonic will most likely surpass them if not this year than the next.
Panasonic right nowhas some of the best HDTV's on the market after the Elite Kuro, and unlike Pioneer, Panasonic's HDTVs are at a very fair, and affordable price range. Sony's and Samsung's LED/LCD TV's are not at the level of Panasonic's Plasmas, but are lighter and consume less power. Also Sony/Samsung tend to have TV's priced at the higher end of the spectrum. Vizio TV's are also said to be pretty good for their price, but not at the same level as Panasonic/Sony/Samsung.
Personally I would look at the Panasonic plasma line for some of the best performance and very reasonable pricing. Also I would avoid Sharp.
