hehe... I will try to take some pictures tomorrow if I'm not too lazy. You know it's a hard work setting up camera, tripod, doing post processing and all that.
Also what makes me hesitate in taking picture is with my DVD player, if I pause the picture, it becomes slightly jaggy, so not really good.
Iv got a Samsung similar to the earlier post. I think they are also the best looking TV's which means quite a lot as they are unfortunately now the focal point of most living rooms.
Just wanna share my opinion in regards to Kuro's USB Picture Viewer feature.
Great panel aside, I think this feature is a bit gimmicky and just thrown in there without much thought. I tried using it by plugging my USB stick with some pictures in it.
The TV loads the thumbnails painfully slow, and to be honest the pictures don't look all that great on the TV, especially the smaller ones, very jaggy especially on straight lines.
Viewing your pictures from cheap monitor is much better.
I'd rather they just remove this feature and substitute it with more useful feature instead.
Just got a PS3 to watch Bluray. Also bought a Ratatouille Bluray to test the quality. Must say it's damn good. Especially the sound, and this is coming from Kuro's stock speakers, not even a full-on home theatre setup.
I must admit that the speakers from Kuro is very good for TV speakers, and the 3D audio works really well too, not just a gimmicky feature.

I have Panasonic 42PX70 42" plasma screen. Panasonic gives you the best bang for the buck on plasma screens nowadays. Pioneer might have a SLIGHT edge when it comes to black level but the difference should be extremely small. But the price difference is everything but small.
New 8-series (G11 panel) gets raving reviews. I might just upgrade my HD-ready PX70 to fullhd Panasonic at the end of the summer, though I'm perfectly happy with the current screen also. I don't feel that 1080p is quite that necessary on screens this small. I can live with 720p. Still most of my watching is on regular digital TV broadcasts which are far from HD-quality. It will be several years until we have proper 1080p broadcasts here in Finland.
Pretty much the only negative thing on plasma screens is the high power consumption compared to LCD.
I dont have pics now, but my uncle got me a 32 inch Sony Baravia for a belated 16th birthday gift.
