What would you rather have?

Does your price include shipping?

No comment on this, its home cinema politics.

In that case no of the above. I can get something better than all of those

pioneer over all

I buy what I buy to impress me, not my friends.

What impresses me is quality, not quantity.

Just my opinion. (I picked the Pio, because of the size and the quality. I would have picked the 150FD for a higher price even)

Definitely the 150FD. I'm going to own this TV for a heck of a lot of years,
and having more than 1 means nothing. I simply want the best, and spending
an extra grand or 2 on day one for something that'll last me 5-7 years is well
worth it. Heck, I ended up owning 2 laptops (a dell and an acer) over the same
year by being cheap both times, but guess what? I should have spent the extra
money on the Lenovo T60 thinkpad. I ended up selling the acer laptop to my friend.

Put it this way, I regret not spending the extra $1200 on getting a leather interior/
cruise control package for my car. Meanwhile, I ended up spending an extra $4,000
to buy an Integra when I could have simply gotten a comparable Honda Civic back
then. I've owned the car for 10 years so far. I'm so very glad for that decision.

Basically, if you're going to spend the bucks to buy something that's going to be
sitting in your home for 5+ years, don't cheap out or you'll regret it. A year from
now, that extra money won't mean nothing to you, but the PQ difference in the
TV will, even if something better comes out.

Hmmm... buy 3 TVs that won't make me happy... buy 2 TVs that'll not make me happy...

or buy 1 TV that makes me very happy?

I dunno...

So you really care about your friends reactions (which will die down) to your owning of 3 plasmas more than the picture quality of the plasma you'd be using? What on earth would you do with multiple plasmas besides show off?

Well I just returned a 58 700u and ordered a 6010, but if someone said instead of returning it for a 6010, just take a second 58 I'd be all over it. So my vote was two 58 10uks.

Although the Pio may be the best, the Panny is still very good and having one upstairs and one downstairs would be nice!

Well, in my situation, I would probably go with the one 6010. I am all about quality now. I am actually going to be replacing my Sony 60A2000 with a Pio 5080. Yes, moving down in size, but I will be getting a better picture. (I'll just move the chair up a couple of feet)

By, this time next year after the prices have dropped on the Kuro 1080ps, I will move the 5080 to the bedroom and buy the 9G 60 inch Pio for the family room. (Then move the chair back)

A 50in is going to look incredibly small compared to the 60sxrd. I would go panny58 over the 5080.

Absolutely. I totally understand your question and your thoughts and the type of responses different people will provide. I just provided my opinion and my reasons for it. This is an interesting question. I would suspect the general public to go with the quantity over quality as well, but at the same time, AVS Forum readers are not the general public. So that might be why the answers are skewed.

One 6010 is my vote. I set it up for me and the family. Do not need a second one to impress friends. Our second tv is not used that much and our third (old 35" Mits) is only hooked up to game systems. If I had two smaller, I would only use the one with the good sound system hooked up with it. Sound is half of the experience.

I would take the Pio 6010. I plan to buy the 5080 whenever the prices drop and would love to get the 6010 if I had an extra $2,000 lying around (and if the wife would approve).

I don't have room in my house for two TVs (I'm not into bedroom TVs). The only way I would have two HD setups would be if I had a dedicated home-theater room with a projector.

I do. If I have 3 TV's that have poor black level, I may as well not have any TV's at all. It's like having 3 turds instead of one.


Well said! I will second that.


Well stated; I agree. Also, FSN north is a TERRIBLE broadcast. It's hard to watch Brewer games in SD...well, and because we are sucking the bag lately.

Oh, and I would take the 6010, of course. Best display out right now, IMO.

Well, I hope your wrong, but I will just have to get used to it. I've always felt the 60 inch was a tad big for my smaller living room. Like I said, I will try and compensate by scooting my recliner up a few feet. That will leave me about 8-9 feet away from the TV.

Later when I upgrade to the 6010, I will be sure to wall mount which will bring it back a good foot or so. I am so stoked with these new Kuros!

Things change and the worm has turned. Pioneer has hit a home run outta the park. Check your votes before you speak or did you mean to say "under dawgs"??
