I purchased this TV along with a Pioneer BDP-51 Blu-Ray player and couldn't be happier. First off, I think the Blu-ray player and TV work well communicating together since even old dvd movies such as the Godfather look fantastic on this tv. In regards to the TV, I am impressed with the picture quality. It is even better than how it looked at my local Best Buy store. I have the setting on what Pioneer calls 'Optimum.' This has basically taken any errors out of my hand. It adjusts the picture based on the format of the input, lighting of the room and content on screen. Every channel I watch looks great (even the non-high def channels). Another mentionable item is glare - simply this tv doesn't have any. I was worried about plasmas when I was shopping tv's due to the supposed glare. The Pioneer has some sort of anti-glare coating that virtually elimiates any room glare (my tube tv had much more glare). The best LCD out there, Samsung, has signifantly more glare. Additionally, this tv has the best black level of any tv I have seen. Often times the tv's you see in the store will have these great bold colors, but anywhere it is supposed to be black, the tv has a grey color. The Pioneer has a perfect black level. I am guessing that is why they call it KURO - Japenese = Black.
