surprisingly, 507 and 427 looks worse than a soso grade Samsung C91.......Q91 could be even better than them......with the comparison of HD5 side by side.....
Even the panasonic also looked very dull....how come ah?
another thing was, when there was a line of text passing from right to left (just like those thing on CNA), Pionner can't display those text properly, macam like interlaced mode menz....
the guy there was trying very hard to switch to different mode, but fail, is that the problem of pioneer 427 and 507 at the first place? other panels dun seem to have such problem woh.
1 last thing, the 4:3 mode doesn't work in 427....not sure about 507. Samsung one has no problem, successfully squeeze back the 16:9 HD5 to 4:3 with 2 grey bars at the side, was playing PCK....

HardCORE said:Thats right, the 507 models are too old already and have some irritating bugs like bad handling of interlaced material and outdated 1080P input (only 24Hz), compared to the Panasonics. The Samsungs I agree have better color balance than the Panasonic out of the box, but I think the scaler on the Panasonics are better than the Samsung (SCV looks better on Panasonic plasmas).
Pioneer is too overpriced IMHO, but the 508 looks like its really a class above the rest in terms of black level performance. But wonder how it will compare price-wise to the affordable full HD 1920x1080 Samsung and Panasonic plasmas which will probably be launched later this year.
