50" looks masssive! You got it in a large room?

I'm going to fit in the corner of my lounge, to the left of the chiney breast, on a wall mount.

Anyone any ideas on how I can keep the Xbox, Blu Ray, Sky etc boxes well away from the telly? Does the Pioneer have an external box for the AV inputs that would allow just one long cable to the telly?

just to add, the reason why I believe the Pioneer 428 screens to be the best is not purely based on that its image reproduction is so good, but the fact it makes nearly any source (even crappy Sky SD) look good.

There are other good screens on the market that give similar results with a decent source, but do fail when you run them from cheap source equipment

Thanks for the PM.

How can I have one HDMI cable going to the screen, but able to feed PS3, Sky, Camcorder etc with no signal loss. Use an AV receiver with HDMI or something?

AV Receiver is your best option - look at Yamaha, Pioneer, Denon and Onkyo - now these products I can help you with

I own a Pioneer Kuro 150FD, (60"), and a 950HD, (42"); there simply are no better consumer TVs on the market currently than the Kuros. The reviews of the 8G, (8th generation), panels from Pioneer have called them on multiple occasions the best flat panels ever produced, so just don't take my word for it. When fed a decent 'signal', especially something like a 1080p signal from a BD player or an HD-DVD player, the picture, colours, etc, are so life like and 3-dimensional that you truly become far more immersed in the program you're watching.

In a few more months, the 9G panels are to be released and these will still be 100% produced by Pioneer, not outsourced. Further, the 9G panels are supposed to have 80% better black levels than the current 8G panels, which currently no other plasma comes close to, so the 9Gs will be even more stunning. There will be 2 different 9Gs released in the 50" and 60" sizes: one will have speakers and built in tuners and will be about the same width as the current 8G panels, and then there will be the same panel released but without built in tuners, or speakers that is quite a bit thinnner. There will be an external 'box' that you will make the connections to and then one cable along with the power cable will go to the TV itself. These thinner panels without speakers and built-in tuners are for those of us who use the panel in a dedicated A/V environment of course.

If you can wait for a few months, I believe the 9G 50" 1080p Pioneer Kuro will be well worth the wait. If not, the current 8G 1080p 50" is the best that you can buy.

Bish,

Q. As you sound like you know a lot about the latest 9G screens - are any of the screens being manufactured by NEC production facilities at all?

3 months ago I bought the Samsung 46 LCD LE46F86BDX. 46 I feel is just about right size, but it had far the best picture from all sources HD & non HD. 1080p 3 HDMI on side and rear, game mode, realy is the dogs! It's mounted on a 7even systems vertibra 4 stand which looks great, stainless steel pole with 3 glass shelves. Speed Limits! not where I live!

I recently heard that Pioneer are not going to make anymore inhouse plasmas after the 9G

So may have to upgrade before that happens. TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone
