The
Pioneer has darker blacks. That's the biggest difference. Much darker blacks makes the image much more vivid and increases your contrast ratio significantly.
It's harder to see it in a bright room like the sales floor, but in a dark room the blacks of a plasma really stand out more. Taking the 4280 home and seeing how amazing it looked made me drool.
On top of that,
Pioneer has arguably the best video processor you're gonna find in any HDTV. What does that mean? More detail, significantly better SDTV image(honestly comparable to DVD), truer colors, better upscaling/downscaling are the main things. If I'm not mistaken, most HDTVs will do unnecessary processing on a signal(e.g. 720p signal being fed to a 720p resolution HDTV). The Pioneer however does not do what is not needed which minimizes loss in pq.
Is it worth it? Hell yeah, especially at how much the price of the Pioneers have dropped. If you really want a deal, wait a little bit as prices are going to drop once the next gen of Pannys come out. Also the next gen of Pannys should be much more comparable to the current Pioneers
I can talk about the Pioneer plasma all day...it made 360 games look soo much better I felt playing everything over again

For 4:3 TV I just keep it on just with stretches the outside more than the middle which isn't nearly as bad as normal stretch mode.
