Congrats, but I still believe Plasmas give a better picture quality overall, but still an amazing TV. Better than mine :) I have a Panasonic Viera 50" myself.

Pioneer dropped out of the TV industry and is only making A/V equipment now...

/sad

Or you could get a plasma for a fraction of the cost with better color reproduction.... :p Sorry, but this is not nearly the "greatest tv ever made"

I know! They made arguably the best TVs of any type ever and now they're gone...pick up the remaining stock while possible I guess (and they're STILL incredibly expensive *puzzled*)

With so much money you should take the Philips one
its superior on every level
not to mention how cool is the ambilight
i cant forget how amazing Super Mario Galaxy was with all that colours from the ambilight (lights turned off in the room)
when i play it in another tv it never feels the same

Seriously every other tv is lacking compared to an ambilight philips... in the beggining feels as a gimmick but if u get used to it there is no turning back

But you have to be careful because the older models have input lag problems and are not the best for gaming (Samsungs also have the same prob)

but the new series are amazing they eliminated this problem of the past years

My Dad snagged the last Pioneer ELITE model ever made. (Not the last unit)

Over 60" of sexyness!

Won't 21:9 stretch...everything though?

i got 50" Pioneer Elite and yes it is sexy 

best tv ever 

picture quality is breathtaking
