My 12 year old son just shot my Pioneer 5070 with his bebe gun. Dead! (tv). Any suggestions for a replacement... I loved the picture on that set. LCD or Plasma? Which brand??

Get a Pioneer or Panasonic Plasma and you will be fine. Check out the forum sponsors like Cleveland Plasma.

Pioneer PDP5020FD if you can still find one, otherwise Panasonic [TC-50PG10] TC-P50G10. Both of these should look better than your old 5070.

Are you talking about the Panasonic G-10? That's part of the new Panasonic lineup. I'm a Panny owner and will be buying another Panny this summer, probably a G-10. If you want to see what it looks like you can click on Cleveland Plasma or another sponsor above this page and take a look.

Well my suggestion was the 111FD while you still can But the other suggestions above are good as well.

Do you still have them(111FD)? The 5020's are hard to find now.

Randy just had the numbers transposed as they were different last year. It is Panasonic TC-P50G10. Panasonic moved them around...they were easier before. I guess it was to confuse everyone like the 12G, G10 thing.

Last 111's are out there, not many and once they are gone they are gone since no more coming from Pioneer.

I don't think the 5070 was even armed, was it?

That's the ultimate black that we all are looking for in AVS.

Have you considered upgrading the screen size?

If you don't need stand, tuner and speaker, my recommendation is the 60" KRP-600M. You probably paid more for your 5070 than you would need to shell out for the 600M.

If size upgrade is not an option, other choices are:
1, PRO-101FD/PRO-111FD
2, KRP-500M
3, PDP-5020
4, Panasonic G10
5, Samsung 50B550

For all the Pioneer models tech. spec., you can find it on the comparison chart: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1126267

For more info. about a particular model, you will need to go into the various owner's threads.

Tell him that you have to sell all his toys, all his bikes, all his games, and all his clothes in order to help pay for a new TV to replace the one he destroyed. "Yes son that's right, you have to go to school naked because you shot my TV."

+1. Make him get a paper route or something to help pay for the new set!
