Same panel, different connections and ancillaries so should be identical if fed through the same source, although on the table above they quote differing contrast ratios which is either a typo, or I'm wrong


The last letters refer to the mounting of the TV. CAB=Cabinet (or stand) PED=Pedestal and WAL=Wall mount bracket, sometimes just B for Bracket.

Pioneer Kuro by Far

Well, I'm beginning to sound like a parrot here, but the Pioneers, although good are not twice as good as the other screens even though they cost twice as much.

I asked the question on avf as I was thinking about stumping the extra £700 for the Pio 428 - and when you test them side by side you will NOT notice an extra £700 worth of PQ.

I must admit, I too am in the same boat.

Setting up a bachelor pad in January, was ready to order this tv when I saw this thread.

How would this compare with the 42pz70?

SAMSUNG LE40F86BD 40" HD Ready 1080p digital LCD TV - Cheap SAMSUNG LCD TVs, Plasma TVs, HD Ready TVs

Basically it will run the PS3, Sky Hd and possibly the PC.

I realise everyone has thoughts on this, I was under the impression that Samsung were a good make? Although I am the first to admit that I dont know nearly enough about it.

Thanks

I've recently picked up a 42PZ70, I must admit its a stunning piece of kit and got mine for a bargain £923!!! No way is the Pioneer worth £500 ish more...

For all those mentioning the PZ700 is the same panel take note, the contrast ratio is only 5000:1 where as the PZ70 is 10000:1 and also I seem to remember the 700 wont do 1080 24p whereas the 70 will.

The only real advantage the 700 has is a much better sound system and 3 hdmi's.

You want the Pioneer PDP-LX428D stunning picture and 1080P what more could you want.

Dream Weaver

The PZ is 1080p, and £500 cheaper.

When I was comparing the 2 recently the TV assistant chap said the PZ was better than the Pio.

No it's 720P.
