Best Plasma sony,pioneer.Panasonic ?

My choices would be different but so would, perhaps, another's. I suggest you wade into www.avsforum.com for a lot of opinion on this topic.

The issue of using the Panasonic with the HD-DVDO as an alternative to the Fujitsu has been debated on AVSforum but, so far, no one has done a side-by-side comparison and, like Keithr, is speculating.

I am quite please with my Fujitsu P50 and I save rack space by not having the external processor.

Is an upgrade possible? What plasma do you have? Will it take additional blades?

This is not entirely true. Some of the Fujitsu's use that ALIS technology glass but others, like the 1366x768 P50 I have and the P63, use Panasonic glass, thus combining its excellent black rendition and high contrast with their AVM processing.

The superiority of the Panasonic blacks is seen in a darkened room, not a light one.
