4. Brightness: Panasonic screen has a brighter image compared to Pioneer. Whites looked whiter.

After using Pioneer for 3 months, I think both of the above are true. Regarding grid between cells or say small pixels, they are perceptible (if you are looking for it) at 2-4 feet but beyond that, not there. Not sure if this is due to 768p vs 1080p, Tata Sky telecast, or something. On original DVDs (even when burnt and compressed thru ripit4me, dvd shrink, dvd decrypter), it is a lot less.
Pioneer is darker with black bars (in say cinemascope movies) not at all visible and merging with the image. I would say that gives a lot more richer image. However, still for watching DVDs, I have a separate input mode and separate user settings (brightness up a little).
By the way, I am very happy with Pioneer 42 (which was reco by reignofchaos, you, and others). However, I think it can be made much better thru professional calibration (ISF). Do you know something reasonable. Alternately, could you help me with colour adjust. It has pro adjust where 6 basic colours (yellow,red, blue, cyanide, etc) can be adjusted. I have tinkered with those but left the changes undone, because I am not a pro.
