And I believe LCD has (or at least had) a better viewing angle


Ummm, not in my opinion. I have both a Pioneer Elite PRO-111FD (50" plasma) and a Pioneer PureVision Elite PRO940HD (42" plasma). The viewing angle is unreal. I can virtually view whatever is being displayed as long as I can see the screen.



In a nutshell heres a side by side comparison for plasma vs LCD by cnet:

From all I have read, this talk of "4 times the elcetricity use of LCDs" just isn't the case at this point.

You have researched this more than I have, Brother, so I will defer to your thoughts.

this is one subject I have spent loving more than cigars. this is to me what hockey is to you. I will tell you that I agree that the pricing and anal marketing didnt help Pioneer.

If I don't get the Elite I will buy the JVC projector and screen
