This monitor is one of the best flat panels available. The smaller 500M is rumored to have some 10G KURO technology which makes it produce a slightly deeper black. But the size difference was a no-brainer for me. Check out control-cal for the just released ISF patch if you choose to go that route. This monitor really shines after about 100 HR break-in time, give or take a few hours. I find myself enjoying the picture more as the phosphors age. There are rumored to only be a few hundred of these panels left so get them while you can. In my opinion this monitor will produce a picture superior to all flat panels for the next 2-3 years. By then Panasonic should catch up. The new V10 is a good TV, but doesn't hold a candle to the 500M/600M IMO. No current LCD is even at 7G-8G KURO levels so I will leave them out of the equation. However, I do like the Sony XBR8 LCD for certain applications ($5,000).

I have this TV in my living room: 60" plasma, and a brand new Samsung 8000 series TV in my study, 55" LED. The Samsung is an excellent TV - only abount 1" thick and a picture that is clean, sharp and a pleasure to watch. Until you go downstairs and watch the KRP-600M. The KRP-600M is effortlessly jaw-dropping in terms of color, black level and clarity. There is simply no other TV I've seen like it. So, as good as the Samsung LED 8000 is, well the Pioneer KRP-600M is even better. Buy one while they last. You won't regret it.

Beautiful picture and monitor looks great on the wall. First unit came with cracked screen, but was replaced promptly. I was contacted the next day to set up delivery of second monitor, which arrived in perfect shape.
