    I bought a Pioneer 43" Plasma a few years ago, but I have been lusting for one of those 50" Kuros. They look pretty damn nice. But they are oh so expensive. :(
    
    I will probably get myself some nice new speakers soonish and if I got the cash I may look up those last gen Pioneer screens in the summer or so (who knows where quality will go now that they won't make the displays themselves).
