Pioneer's new Elite Plasma screen is about the best plasma screen you can get, but it still looks like SH*T compared to a high quality CRT or projector (as well as any quality LCD). For the money, I would never, ever, buy one of these things. All plasmas I've seen are saddled with colour fidelity that can't even resolve what's encoded in the DVD's MPEG2 stream. Too many artifacts make it look like it's being driven by a 16bit display device. Ugh. But again, the Pioneer is much better at this than any other display of its type. It actually does pretty solid blacks for instance.

Once you see it running an HDTV signal, you won't be very happy with watching a DVD on it. :)
