^^Looks like the prices have gone up due to the dollar appreciating. One year warranty and there should be a pioneer service center in chennai that would carry out the servicing. You can confirm that. They told me the bangalore service center would deal with all issues in my case. I haven't bought it yet as I'm still waiting for a bit more green stuff
.
Someone asked how the Pioneer is better... well here are the things -
-Significantly better black levels than anything else out there meaning the highest dynamic range on the planet
-D65 greyscale and 2.2 gamma calibration options and perfect rendition of the NTSC/PAL color space
-Film deinterlacing with 3:2 pulldown that actually works unlike the broken one in panasonic and every other TV
-Significantly better shadow detail, sharpness can be increased dramatically more than panasonic without inducing moire
-Gigantic amount of connectivity options
