Any feedback or Review's on Pioneer PDP5016HD

Does anyone have any feedback on the Pioneer PDP5016HD plasma. Tweeter has this on a good deal and I was considering this versus the 46 inch Sony LCD which is considerably more expensive. Feedback thoughts appreciated.

I personally bought one of these on Black Friday. I love the set! I waited about 1-1/2 yrs before taking the plunge. To me, the Pioneers have the best pic on plasmas. You can get a better pic and more adjustability by getting the Elites or Pros, but at a lot more cost. That set is hard to beat for the price, however. SD content still looks presentable on these sets.

My only gripe is the sound, which is pretty sad on these. When listening to the news, etc, I don't bother to run my surround sound setup and the tv speakers are pretty crappy IMO.

Try talking to the sales guy at Tweeter and beat him down on the price. I did and got it for 21 Ben Franklins.

Good luck!

Tweeters bargaining

Hello...I saw a note you wrote about grinding the Tweeters guy down to $2100 -- what was your angle? Is there local competition, did you spend lots of money on installation?

Thanks, Adam

Sent you a PM.

Edit Forgot to mention in the PM that the 5016 is a Tweeter exclusive in the states as far as I know. There is another store in Canada that has them, also.
