Good: Picture in both standard and HD - superb black levels, particularly from upscaled DVD source.
Bad: Supplied remote not fully functional (not same as per instruction booklet, leading to set up problems)
Comment: This display was demonstrated before purchase against more conventional 'name' plasmas and out performed them. Black levels are outstanding and standard def picture on digital feed is excellent. DVD pictures can be stunning. Out Pioneers Pioneer regarding its style - all this for up to 800 quid less (Internet prices of course).
Only downsides are the less than intuitive remote (beware if the one supplied does not correspond to the one detailed in the instruction manual) and the screen's sound is not vey inspiring (not a problem if hooked up to external source).
This screen gets it right where it counts - future proof high performance for not a massive outlay.
