| neilsahgal's Full Review: Pioneer PureVision PDP-505HD 50 in. Plasma Televis... |
You can save a lot by shopping around. In about 20 minutes, I was able to shave $9,000 from the retail price.

Need PAL or SECAM? check out the evil twin: PDP-502MX typically it's priced about the same, weighs a bit less (probably due to the fact that the protective display is acrylic instead of glass on the PDP-505HD). However the 502MX has a refresh of 85Hz (75Hz for the 505HD), supports UXGA (1600x1200), Precise color temp adjustment, built-in amp and speakers (like you would need those in your Home Theater setup...)
In my situation, I needed the higher res for the D-Sub for playing high-res computer based games and just plain web surfing... =]
