The PW4 and 5 were awesome screens, but that was the days when they made them to a certain quality rather than a certain price point.
I would really like to hear about the PHD9, someone I know well and whose opinion I trust has just swapped his 50PHD8 over for a 42PHD9 and says it is no where near as good, he is actually on his second screen as he said he wasn't happy and the place he bought it from said it may be a problem and swapped it out. But he said it is still the same, sort of like a coloured macroblocking is how he described it. Seems like the price point they are making them to has got too low??
He actually said that he prefered the 427XD, and he hated the 436-XDE with a passion, the panels poor fill rate, awful image retention, judder, terrible colours out of the box and the fact they wanted to charge you £300 for cable to reach you system stand. But he is seriously considering the new screen.
I am itching to see the new Pio in action now, walked passed them loads of times and not bothered stopping, but think I might make the effort to have a look tomorrow, need a new TV for the conservatory and have always loved the way the Pioneers looked, and the Fuji is too much money for a second set.
How many of those that didn't like the 6 series Pioneer screens have seen the 7 series and been impressed, or not??
