You Can't Get Better Than Perfect
A reader of your column posed the question whether he should buy a Pioneer Kuro now that they have been greatly discounted. I want the best too, but this raises another question. Do the new Panasonic G10, V10, or Z1 plasma TVs surpass the Pioneers' picture performance, and at what price?

As you probably know by now, 3D movies are all the rage in commercial cinemas these days. In most cases, however, these presentations require a special screen, and the image can't be larger than about 40 feet wide due to the loss of light that polarized systems inflict.
