The Pioneer Kuro PDP-5080HD is a 720P, 50" plasma display.  It has a built in HD tuner and is cable card capable.  The set has a plethora of inputs, including 4 HDMI 1.3. 

The built in scaler/deinterlacer is top notch and seems to be better than the scaler/deinterlace in the Yamaha RX-V3800 AND the Panasonic BDP-30BK Blu-Ray player.

The set is crystal clear with a good source and even manages a good picture with a standard definition cable source.

I was worried about glare on the screen due to an adjacent, perpindicular, wall being mostly windows but I need not have worried.  Glare is not a problem although you can see reflections of the windows/lights when the TV is off.  This not a problem when the TV is on and there is an image.  You can see the reflections but it has never interefered with watching TV or movies.

Duck, do you regret getting the 720 P set instead of the 1080 P version that is out, albeit at almost twice the price ?
