Date: 2008-12-26 Blown away. I'm no videophile but I could not pass this TV up. Bestbuy had it open box in store for $1,500..I was looking to get a Samsung LCD (LN46a630) but while I waited for the price to drop, I found this gem..I haven't looked back since. I was VERY worried about so-called "input lag" that plagues modern sets. While I've heard mixed results with the sammy, I can tell you without a doubt that this TV is solid. I am sensitive to lag and could not notice a delay when playing wii over components. With XBox360 over HDMI I got the same results. I even used GH:Aerosmith's lag calibrator to determine the audio/video lag and I think the worst results were ~20ms but were usually even much closer to 0ms. The short of it is that this TV is more than solid for games...and did i mention it looks amazing? If you live somewhere cold, it could also double as a heater..can't wait to get my energy bill! :) Date: 2008-12-12 Great TV Pro: Very black contrast. Sharp picture. Great for PS3 gaming. Con: Slight glare you wouldnt get from most LCD's. Overall very happy with the purchase. Date: 2008-12-03 Pioneer PDP-5020FD This TV can only be described as awesome. I've now had the TV a little over a month. It was delivered in 4 days via CEVA white glove delivery which was great. All I had to do was plug in the HDMI lead from my cable DVR and the power lead and turn it on. The setup menu is really easy to use to customize the settings to one's liking in a short time. I looked at many brands and models of TV's for around 3 months before I finally decided on this one. The picture on the Pioneer was the best I saw by far in side by side comparisons that I observed in big box stores. The picture looks even more awesome in my family room entertainment center. My old DVD movies are like watching the original movie in a theater. Date: 2008-11-21 Kuro 5020 Review after 1 week I purchased this TV along with a Pioneer BDP-51 Blu-Ray player and couldn't be happier. First off, I think the Blu-ray player and TV work well communicating together since even old dvd movies such as the Godfather look fantastic on this tv. In regards to the TV, I am impressed with the picture quality. It is even better than how it looked at my local Best Buy store. I have the setting on what Pioneer calls 'Optimum.' This has basically taken any errors out of my hand. It adjusts the picture based on the format of the input, lighting of the room and content on screen. Every channel I watch looks great (even the non-high def channels). Another mentionable item is glare - simply this tv doesn't have any. I was worried about plasmas when I was shopping tv's due to the supposed glare. The Pioneer has some sort of anti-glare coating that virtually elimiates any room glare (my tube tv had much more glare). The best LCD out there, Samsung, has signifantly more glare. Additionally, this tv has the best black level of any tv I have seen. Often times the tv's you see in the store will have these great bold colors, but anywhere it is supposed to be black, the tv has a grey color. The Pioneer has a perfect black level. I am guessing that is why they call it KURO - Japenese = Black. Date: 2008-11-12 I've started watching too much TV The quality of this Pioneer plasma is so astounding that I find myself watching too much television - if for nothing else than to gaze at the glorious images produced by this HD plasma. Even though I work in the television industry and spend my days staring at a TV, I find myself watching even more at night. The images are clean, the colors are true, and motion replicates that pleasant blur found in film. And it seems to smooth out that crunchy "video feel" one can find on many LED or lower end plasmas. If you can stomach the price, it's well worth the money. Then beware of your free time ...
