I agree with D'Arbignal 100%. The picture quality for the prices asked is outrageous. They all have obvious artifact problems..and as D'Arbignal mentioned...the blacks are nowhere near what they should be.

If a plasma set was 2 grand and under, it would be cool to slap on the wall and do some XBox gaming on it..but other then that, I wouldnt use it for Home Theatre use.

Even the multiple Pioneer Elite sets Ive seen in the past going for $15,000.00 had problems...and at that price, I expect perfection.

They need to either drop the prices by 30 to 40% on current models...OR.. improve on their picture quality and hope people notice the difference and decide it's worth the $$. Just my opinion..
