Newbie needs advice on HDRPTV selection (1 Viewer)

[baja]

Hey guys can you help a newbie out I am building a home theater system and need advice as to the best choice for the HDRPTV. I am looking at the Mitsubishi Platinum WS-55511, Diamond WS 55711 and Pioneer Elite Pro530HD. I am going to be running it on an HD DirectTV receiver (another selection ?). I am looking for the BEST "overall" picture in all modes. Thanks in advance!

I suggest the Pioneer (what I have). I know of two cases personnally where the purchaser's of Mitsubishi wish they had gone Pioneer. My friend at the local high-end store had one thing to say about HDTV "There is Pioneer and then there is everything else". I know it was the most expensive, but the 530 has come down a bunch in the last year or so (after I bought mine!). The Pioneer is also a much nicer cabinet and much more pleasant to look at when it is not running. I also know I can roll it around with a single finger push but the Mitsu is kind of a bear.
Good luck in your decision....
