Any opinions on the new Pioneer HDTV's?
I've heard that the new Pioneer HDTV's (SD-533HD5, etc) have alot of the electonics from the previous Elite line, but at a much cheaper cost. Does anyone have any opinions about these TV's? I'm doing everything I can to break my current TV so I can replace it...

I have the SD-533HD5 and I absolutely love it. You're right that it seems to have the same great line-doubler as last year's Elites and looks almost as good as this year's Elites but at great prices. Some people seem to have a kind of green push with the set (see http://www.hometheaterspot.com/ ) but I don't see it after a few weeks of heavy use.
What pushed me to the Pioneer was the excellent NTSC pic - the line doubler is great on low res sources like my standard cable TV. Of course DVDs look incredible. I don't have an HDTV set-top box yet but I'm sure it looks outstanding too.
Check The Spot for more active discussion of these and other sets.
I have no connection with Home Theater Spot, other than being a satisfied forum member there, too.
