Into AV and computers, Arcam DVD, SkyHD, Pioneer Plasma, Xbox360, Acer Laptop, spend a lot of time purchasing online mainly for electronic items, interconnects, games, DVD's, books, and CD's.

Purchased this Plasma screen very recently and set it up with my SkyHD, Arcam DVD and Xbox 360. It is replacing my 42" PD5300 non-HD ready Hitachi plasma. As I only purchased the screen I cannot comment on the sound output but the images are just brilliant. SkyHD - with HD material this set is amazing and you find yourself watching the BBCHD test images just because they look so good and the widlife footage is amazing. Xbox 360 - much clearer images, text easier to read, colours and detail is much better. Sky's standard material - though the HD box this is also very good, much better than through my Hitachi and on a par with the best 36" CRT televisions, butv this is a 50" screen. Arcam DVD - my DVD player is quite old and does not have progressive scan or any HD output but there is a noticeable improvement in the colours and clarity. Internal DTV - as i tend to watch only Sky I haven't got round to inputting an aerial signal, so no comment on this one.
I am only starting to twiddle with the settings for each of the inputs but even after a couple of days I can really appreciate the extra effort Pioneer have put into the set as it allows you to tweak the image for each of the separate inputs, component, scart, HDMI, VGA, etc. The Pioneer digital processing is excellent.
