Currently, I have 4 HDTVs in my house. Sony Bravia LCD (less than 1 year old and it is a 1080P), Sony HD Cineza (1080i) in my theater room, Panasonic Plasma EDTV (about 9 years old which I pay a lot of money for it when Plasma first came out) and the newly purchased Panasonic VIERA X1 Series TC-P42X1 (720P). I can tell you that this Plasma is much better than the $1499 Sony Bravia LCD 1080P. The picture is super clear even just connect it with cable and Satellite. DVD is incredible and you do not need a Blue-Ray player becasue regular DVD is just as good as Blue-Ray on this one. I have all the technologies, cable/DirecTV, Toshiba HD-DVD player, Sony PS3 Blue-Ray, DVD recorder all connected to this set. So far this is the best $800 plasma you can buy. My old Panasonic Plasma which just was an Enhanced Definition and it is about 10 years now and the picture is still looking good. I never had any problem with Panasonic TV and it is a better brand in Japan than Sony. Go get one, you will be pleased!

I bought the TC-P50G10 three weeks ago, and am very happy with it. I did a lot of research and tried out a number of TVs before settling down on this one, so I thought I would share some of the information and my experience with the TV, and hopefully make your decision in choosing the TV a bit easier.

[...] profit or cut and run. As it stands Currently Pioneer has cut most flat panel production and is sourcing panels from Panasonic. Only their Elite Signature Series panels are built in-house. They have plans to sell LCD panels [...]

Mark, what technology are you bidding farewell? Plasma hasn’t/isn’t going anywhere.

Goodbye and good ridden to a technology which was overpriced, with a warranty which left much to be desired!

It appears they’re working deals to have Matsushita build the panels using Pioneer technology and then Pioneer will assemble the final product.

They’re also entering the LCD market with the help of Sharp (who is also partnering with Samsung and Sony).

This is definitely sad to hear. Pioneer was a “pioneer” in plasma technology. Let’s hope that all of their good plasma tech gets put to use in Panasonic plasma TV’s.
