I have a 43 pioneer plasma I bought 3 years ago all I can say it is excellent when playing games and blu ray/ HD I did pay 1650 for it but the old saying you only get what you pay for is true . I am in the Market at moment for a 37/40 screen for bedroom and like the look of led or the panisonic range LCD ,a couple friends have samsung LCD screens but have had problems with lines appearing on screen so make sure u get a long 5 yr warranty .
