I think some of the LGs and Samsungs are better than a PX70

If i was going for a new TV it would be a 1080p samsung Plasma, unless i won the lottery then it would be a pioneer 1080p plasma

No they aren't, Samsung may run it close, but Panasonic still tops the Samsung and certainly the LG.

Look around at the reviews, the PX70 is going up in price in some shops it is that sought after because of the reviews and general excellent quality of the TV.

And a 1080p PZ700 Panasonic would be my choice if I couldn't have a Pioneer LX 1080p, not a Samsung.
