Video Master 2. You amaze me with your complete and total lack of knowledge. These are typical comments from a Panasonic owner who can't afford an Elite panel. What are you going to say next? "Ya my Civic can out perform your Corvette because General Motors is in financial troubles now and my car is cheaper." You are a very ignorant person who doesn't know his facts. Pioneer had no choice but to get out of the video business due to the fact that people convince themselves a $900 television delivers as good as picture and with the state of our economy, many people can't afford to buy a television at a higher price. It has nothing to do with the performance of the product. If Porsche was pulling out of the consumer automotive industry, should they have just built cheaper cars, or keep the reputation and heritage of the company as being a car company that built better products then they're competitors?

What a joke. Cnet reviewers clearly have no idea what they're talking about. I've seen the TH65VX100U, which is Pana's $10,000 reference for those not familar with the model, and even that PDP can't reproduce blacks like a KURO. And that isn't just my opinion. The April 2009 issue of Home Theater Magazine felt the same way which is surprising considering how much cheaper it would be to purchase a 60" PRO151 or 141.

"You elimate those annoying bars finally." What a joke. Great journalism. Hmmm interesting that they never brought up the fact that all of our HD Broadcast in 16:9 and any film shot in anything other than 2:35:1 will have giant bars down the sides of the screen. Dig deeper Philips.
