I've got a video processor on the way now, so if the new Panasonics have better blacks than the current Pioneers and they have a 1080p model around the same price the PZ70 is going for now, there's a good chance I'll be buying one of them. (I don't care about what the onboard processing is like, or how many HDMI inputs it has as long as it can do 1080p24/50/60 1:1 mapped)
I hear that the 9G Pioneers have had another significant drop in black levels this year too - equivalent to the same kind of drop they had from 7G to 8G. (I believe they said it was 80% last time)
It'll still be at least a couple of years until we see "perfect blacks" - whenever Pioneer decides to release those concept panels, but I'm getting sick of waiting, and if Panasonic have bettered Pioneer this time with their low prices, I might be able to settle on one for a couple of years.
It's a shame that Panasonic's commercial prices are still as high as ever and haven't been keeping in line with the consumer range. It used to be that you were about the same price, if not cheaper than buying a consumer model, but the TH50PF10 is around ?2k when the TH50PZ70 is ~?1225 now. I'd much rather have the thin bezel and a single input board than a "TV" now.

I got myself a question if I can. I've bought a 40 inch Samsung LCD, while I know that they are good on the 360's (as it's what they use to show it off). How are they with Wii's and PS3's?
I have myself a 32 inch 720p Toshiba at the moment, which I will probably flog for on here about 300-350 quid as it's only a year old once I get the Samsung. Anyone know how much it would go for, is what I said a good price? As I said, 720p, 2 hdmi's, 2 scarts, and component. (Not sure on s video and all that though as don't use it)

My old 42 inch LG Plasma is giving up the ghost (nasty red dots all over the screen, but it's well out of warranty so I'm going to have to replace it) and seeing as I've got a nice healthy collection of HD DVD and Blu Ray discs I thought I'd go for a 1080p plasma to get the most out of them.
At a price I can afford the best option seems to be the Panasonic TH50PZ70B 50 inch 1080p plasma. There are LG and Samsung screens of the same spec for the same price, but from everything I've read Panasonic seems to be held in much higher regard than those two.
Is there anything else around that would be worth looking at ahead of the Panasonic? Did a quick google and couldn't find any reviews of the Panny. Anyone have any experience of it, good or bad? Cheers in advance for any advice.

Couple of quick questions for the future... might seem obvious to some, but hey I'm just asking heh...
1) What outputs does the Xbox360 support?
2) What's the difference between the 2000 and 3000 series for Sony Bravias?
As an addendum to that second Q, what is the best recommendation for a letter series (V,W,X etc) and number (2000, 3000, 3500 etc) on the Bravias?Last edited by Mayhem; 08-03-2008, 23:17.Lie with passion and be forever damned...
