My quick advice: look at/for a 700-series Panasonic plasma while you can still get one and I think you will be impressed, at a cost quite a bit less than the Pioneers.

Deep blacks, no motion artifacts, beautiful grayscale...a pleasure to look at with BluRay or HiDef cable.

When I bought the Panny, it was based on this:
I love films. Couldn't care less about sports, reality shows, et.c.
I work as a broadcast video shooter.
I spent some time as a projectionist (35 and 70mm) and I still have a 16mm Xenon projector at home which I use for feature films, so those were my 'baselines' for choosing a video display.

The above drove my decision to get the 58-inch Panasonic. It had to do justice to everything from B/W silents to the latest filmstocks and do it accurately with banging contrast.

It is a very beautiful display, and I can recommend it highly. I broke mine in for the first 100 hours with a white/color gradation disc, to take the edge off the sensitivity for burn-in, and I have had no problems with that whatsoever.
