Visions in Saskatoon used to carry Pioneer TVs. I assume there's a location in Calgary.

However I heard that Pioneer was getting out of Plasmas. Also, as a TV salesperson, I'd recommend looking at a Panasonic or Samsung. They're almost the same quality but a fraction of the price! It's the difference between having a TV and a TV and a quality Home Theater setup too

On the other hand, Pioneer Plasmas are incredible.

when I used to sell electronics at soundsaround, I used to make some of by biggest commisions of the pioneer elite series plasma tvs...
They were 15,000 back then and we moved quite a few, you might want to check and see if they still carry pioneer elite.

Does your sister know that Pioneer is getting out of the TV industry? I know Soundsaround carried the Elites, and you could get a pretty good deal on them as they are trying to clear them out bit by bit.

Don't get me wrong, Pioneer made one of the best Plasmas out there, only other brand that made anything near it was Panasonic. To bad Plasmas use so much electricity and are now being banned in many nations, hence the reason that most manufacturers are no longer going to be producing them. Basically what it came down to is that LCD TV's use way less energy and the new ones can achieve almost the same blacks as plasmas (with the new top of the line Sony units claiming that they can achieve the same as plasmas), so with the green push it was only natural that the "suv's of the car industry" would be phased out.
