Yeah if you can't afford a Kuro than getting a Panasonic is no real big deal. Panasonic's are good, but compared to the new 9G Kuro nothing is in the same league.

And yeah the avsforums are your best friend

Depends on how deep your pockets are.

If you only barely can afford the Pioneer tv, dont.

Why you may wonder? a panasonic PZ80 + an IFS calibration is even better, and should cost around the same amount of money as for the pioneer.

Now if money is not that big of a problem, get the pioneer and an IFS calibration.

And if you really feel owning the best of the best, get the new Kuro 9G series with an ISF calibration.

Also - if your in for a cheap solution, get the panasonic - from what i've heard, they're good "out-of-the-box", atleast better then the pioneer 428. :)
