I researched and thought I was getting the best TV on the market. My friends have Pioneer TVs and they have not had any problems. Mine however has had problems from the beginning. We would be watching TV and the set would turn itself off. When I started it back up it would say "warming up ...". The blue "on" light would flash and I could not do anything with the TV until I unplugged it and plugged it back in. I thought maybe it was because we were using an antennae. Then the TV got to the point where I could not get it back on again. We contacted Best Buy and they had someone come out to the house after a week (no TV). The people showed up and said they had to order a part. A month later they showed up with a part. They put the new part in and then said the part was defective (found out later it was a power supply). They took out TV away for 2 week (now it is 2 months later) and they returned it today (and did not give me back my remote so I cannot get into the menu). Then the TV switch stopped working, I had to unplug and plug the TV to get it to work. Everytime the switch is pushed I have to go through this. I wanted to post this so that people are aware that these (or maybe just mine) have problems (mine still does not work and I am going to ask Pioneer for a replacement). Other than this I love the TV
