The best purchase I've ever made
I would love to add my 5 star comments to everyone else who has ever reviewed this product. Much like them, I SCOURED over different TV models/specifications to determine which was the best. This was a gift to myself, and I was ready to buy the top of the line. All roads led me to Pioneer Plasmas. When starting off with a demand to provide me the best overall quality picture, I initially narrowed my search to plasma and this was far and away the best product out there. I have had this TV for over 5 months now, and I love it as much now as I did when I first bought it. My desire was to have it professionally calibrated after ~100 hours of viewing, but out of the box, the quality is just so amazing, I'm having a hard time justifying the expense. The black levels (which really is the most important quality of a television, NOT resolution as people in the stores would want you to believe) are incredible - and this TV outperforms every other one on the market by a significant amount. The picture, in my opinion, produces more vibrant colors even better than my parents' Sony 61" SXRD LCoS projection. There has been no issue with burn-in on images, even with extended hours of watching ESPN with its logo sitting in the corner the entire time. The reflection off the screen is unnoticeable when the TV is on. Other reviews have commented on the "audible buzzing" when the TV is on. While you can hear it if you put your ear up to the TV, it has never been an issue or interfered with my viewing experience. The quality of the sound from the speakers is commendable as well. I look forward to many years of happy viewing with this Pioneer and recommend it as highly as I can recommend a product. Spend the money, and you won't be sorry.

A Stunning State of the Art
Unbelievable picture quality on both HD and SD sources. The black levels are truly astonishing. The dynamic Contrast Ratio is 20,000:1 and static (ANSI) CR is 448:1. This is approaching CRT performance and far exceeds any other platform (LCD, plasma, etc.)
I wanted something that was going to last, so I did extensive homework on the KURO. While the KURO is a total redesign, it is a Pioneer 8th generation--a very stable platform. The repair rate, according to Consumer Reports, for Pioneer plasmas is 3% (statistically equivalent to major brand LCDs).
And talk about future-ready. This panel has 4(!) HDMI v1.3 inputs and 2 component video inputs. It has PC connectivity and is one of the only tvs available that accepts 1080p/24 signals. It does so by changing it's display to 72Hz...no need for a 2:3 pull down so you have a much less jittery film.
Absolutely stunning!

Unreal Plasma
I've had this tv for about a month and am absolutely in love with it. I spent months reading reviews and customer opinions on AVS before deciding to make the leap. My other tv is a Samsung 4254 plasma that I purchased a few years back and I noticed considerable noise on the screen and artifact problems during movies.
This tv is is worlds better than that one and none of those same problems exist. No buzzing as some have experienced btw. Now my only problem is my addiction to blu ray movies. I can't wait to watch no country for old men on this set...friendo.

Finally, a flat panel HDTV beats my CRT HDTV
I have been searching for a replacement for my 5-yr old Sony 34" CRT HDTV for years. The search is finally over. My ISF calibrated Sony HDTV has been a great performer. Until recently, it had consistently beaten both LCDs and Plasmas with its excellent black level, outstanding details, accurate color (after ISF calibration fixed its "red push") and lacking of motion blur. But due to the weight of the tube, anything bigger than 34" would be a huge burden.
After months of research and comparison, I finally found it. This Pioneer not only matches all the performance areas that my 34" Sony CRT HDTV has excelled but also adds the "WOW" factor thanks to its considerable bigger screen size. Now I feel I finally step into the picture instead of watching from outside.
The only major downside of this plasma is that the sound quality of TV speakers is nowhere near the quality of picture it delivers. As matter of the fact, it sounds much worse than my 34" Sony CRT TV. So a separate quality sound system is more than a necessity to get full enjoyment from this TV.
Now I only wish that I have more time to watch all my favorite movies on this Big TV again...

Great TV backed by good customer service
The picture quality and input flexibility are great. While some have complained about noise, I am only 85' above sea level and the set is very quiet. After a week the set failed and the power light would blink 7 times. Pioneer support got right on it and showed a genuine interest in fixing my problem. I have never experienced better customer support.
