Plasmatvbuyingguide.com give rating 95/100 and wrote:

Pioneer’s plasma televisions are consistently of very high quality. They are also higher-priced than the plasma televisions made by their primary competitors, Panasonic and Samsung. When compared with top LCD panel manufacturers, Pioneer is still priced at just less than a Sharp or Sony 1080p 52″ LCD. Pioneer works hard on ensuring classy aesthetics and a full feature set such as Picture-in-Picture, cable card connection and upgraded sound quality not to mention quality plasma cell structure. All these features compare to the upgraded models from Panasonic and Samsung. When reviewing this unit from top to bottom the word “quality” echoes thoroughly. If Pioneer is your choice, I would not hesitate to recommend the PDP-5080HD.
