Pioneer Elite in Calgary?

[Trigger Man]

Thanks The Mikey for clearing up that only the large ones are getting banned in the next little while (automaticly assumed 50 inch plus sized TV's), but from what I was last told by my TV rep that currently sells plasmas is that there is more legislation in the works to make hitting the energy star rating even tougher for plasmas being introduced in many European Countries(once again I am talking 50 inch or bigger as that is the sizes I buy, so I don't know about smaller then that).
Panasonic actually lists the energy consumed, and the 50+ inch ones listed 495 w or more on their stickers. My Plasmas listed a lot higher then what was listed on the review you qouted.
I do know for a fact though that Pioneer is getting out of the TV market, and that can be verified if you ask most salespersons in the TV departments.
I too agree that the blacks on plasmas show a lot better then my Sony LCD TV that I have, but even comparing the Sony I had a couple of years ago to the current one the difference is noticeable. So I do look forward to the new high end Bravias that are saying that they are going to be as good as any other TV on the market.
