How can anyone describe the perfect television? I certainly can't because I am not well versed in electronic lingo but I can tell you, as a layperson with more than her fair share of TV watching time under her belt, that I can not imagine a time when I will ever regret buying the Pioneer PDP5071. Yes, my model is a 5071 which we got at Best Buy. I have not been able to ascertain the difference in the two model numbers unless Best Buy has some kind of proprietary deal with the manufacturer....you know how that goes. Anyway, we spent days....DAYS....watching televisions....doing side by side comparisons....and the Pioneer won hands down. Our Best Buy had sooooo many televisions there to view and we made sure we viewed them side by side with the Pioneer. All I can tell you is that the Pioneer's picture was so far beyond what any of the others offered visually that we could not have purchased anything else and felt good about it. We read every review we could get our hands on and were impressed that in addition to the excellent performance, there was very little after-purchase problems with breakdowns, malfunctions, etc. We have had ours for only a month or so but have experienced no problems whatsoever....unless EUPHORIA is a problem. Sure, this tv was priced higher than any other tv there. Best Buy had it on sale for $3200 when we went in. But they also took off $200 just because my husband asked if they gave discounts to first time plasma purchasers!! We got a 10% off coupon in the mail about a week after we purchased the tv and all the audio components, cables and a very nice tv stand....and they applied that coupon to our previous purchase as well.! So, we definitely got a good deal with those guys. I highly recommend going to BB and at least doing price comparisons.
Anyway, overall, YES...buy this tv. You will not regret it. It's a true gem.
