Panasonic vs. Pioneer Plasmas

71.96.168.114

Posted by townsend on September 24, 2005 at 20:56:31

While I've been considering purchasing a Pioneer plasma (commercial) model for some time (and prices appear to become coming down rather nicely), the new Pioneer models have caught my attention, particularly the HD930, for the following reasons:

1) Pioneer appear to be narrowing the gap and achieving a more "Panasonic" black.
2) Doesn't Pioneer already have a reputation for superior colors?
3) Unless one does a commercial Panny, you are stuck with the dumb built-in speakers. With the Pioneer, they can be removed.
4) I actually prefer the styling of the Pioneer (piano black frame and separate media unit).
5) Pioneer's two HDMI inputs vs. Panny's one--I definitely will need two.

Questions: isn't the peak light output (1100 lumens) higher on Pioneer than Panasonic (780 lumens)? A downside of Pioneer: I'm not positive, but I think the Panny is cheaper . . .

I'd appreciate any comments. Thanks.
