Pioneer PDP-434HDG

Highly accurate colour ; Very good out-of-the-box performance ; Excellent connectivity ; Built-in tuner

Blacks not as deep as on some plasmas

Colour is definitely the PDP-4340HD's strongest performance parameter--better than that of any plasma we've seen yet. Dark scenes were a bit problematic, however; they exhibited the same performance hiccups in high definition that we observed on DVDs.
