Yeah considering this article isn't that old [gizmodo.com]
I agree with Chris Langro that there should be mention of the V10 as well.

@TVGenius: My though exactly!!!.
First thing I though was you NEVER put on of these on the side, they are not engineered to handle 120+ Lbs on the plastic side of it. The Frikking base is at the BASE....
So I though maybe it's OK and the box does not say...
NOPE. Sure enough the arrow is on the upper left of the box.

I bet when they stack them, they lay them flat to save space. (another NO-NO).

Idiots, just plain idiots....

@aec007: Yeah, laying 'em flat is probably the worst of the ways to lay 'em, especially when shipping. Vibration and bumps will cause the glass to bow.

Probably not too bad on the side; sure it's 120+ lbs., but the plastic is nicely ensconced in foam, so the lbs./in.^2 won't be too bad. Shipping them that way probably gets bad though.

..and how did you not get one of those into the back of a taxi? The hand truck is right there. They're making it so easy that it's practically not stealing!

One must ask: why did they exit the business if their Tvs were so fan-fricken-tastic?

Nice try but no... Pioneer smoked anything and everything for color quality and black levels ohhh and speed. (Every Plasma is 480HZ) Plus none of that weird movie speed up and lag that 120Hz sets give out. Pioneer was the best and even now that they are out of the game they are still the best.
