Pioneer KURO PDP-6020FD _is this the way to go?
Ok..I just sold my 62 inch dlp and looking at a vacant wall.
I got all the other gear and need a new tv.
This is floating around the price of $4,000 shipped at Amazon.
Is this the way to buy it? I don't see any other tvs that seem better choice.
I want the best tv at the best price...
I saw it at Costco for around the same price..but would have to pay tax and delivery to some one..Any advice/ experience ...or way to get even cheaper?

Personally I would not buy a tv at that price and have it shipped to me. Everyone wants the best tv at the best price. Get someone to help you bring it home so you don't have to pay for delivery.

I have read the reviews at Amazon..if you go white glove delivery-they unpack and install and if tv not working or damaged they will take back..I have seen this tv advertised for under $3700 at Plasma Concepts shipped also...never have bought a huge item like this online either...anybody have luck with retailers lowering their price significantly for online prices.like Best Buy or Ken Crarnes etc?

If you buy online you need to make sure the seller is an authorized retailer. If not your warranty is voided. I'm would definitely double check this before I threw down on a Pioneer Kuro.
Why not take that price over to BB and see if they can match or beat? Perhaps you could use Reward Zone as well and get enough cash for a free BR player to go with.
Also, that's a lot of money just to buy "the best for the price". If you're that concerned I'm not sure you would have bought a DLP in the frist place. Also, I'm sure others will say you can get the 58" Panasonic for a considerable amount less and still retain good picture quality.

when I bought dlp 3 or 4 years ago ( I forget) things were lot more expensive and blu ray was not that abundant etc and 1080p was not all that common..plasmas were outrageous in price.
Now I really want to enjoy Blu ray and have a great presentation...from everything I read 24fps looks awesome on this..if I can get a great price..I think worth the investment..but that is why I am on this site to always maximize my dollars..

If Pioneer is Tier 1, then Panasonic is at the top of Tier 2, followed by the likes of Sylvania, Olevia, etc. in Tier 3. I'd put Sony and Samsung also towards the top of Tier 2 and Vizio at the bottom of 2 for reference.

To Clarify I want the "Best tv"... at the best price..
The Kuro based on reviews is the best...
The retail is $5500 but if can get under $4,000 out the door I am willing to step up and forgo the Panny..I think for 3-5 years enjoyment when you divide it out probally worth it..hoping someone has some experience buying a set like this online etc...things to avoid etc..Have not ruled out brick and mortar if they would match but at this price point even tax is nearly $300 bucks..
