"From what I've seen, there is Pioneer Elite and then there is all the rest."
I completely agree, but a close runner up are the panasonic plasmas. They are much cheaper, and look almost as good.
I read an in depth article in a HT mag where a panel of people reviewed the best plasmas, LCDs and DLPs, and the results were unanimous. Pioneer is on top, with Panasonic a close 2nd. Everyone preferred a Pio 720P plasma to ANY 1080P LCD or DLP.
Resolution has become marketing. 1080p is a nice check in the box, but it is nowhere near the most important thing in a TV (projection is a dif. story IMO)
