Date: 2008-11-23 Love this TV!! Have had the Pioneer for a couple of weeks now and this TV rocks! We have HDcable, Xbox360 and PS3 connected through an Onkyo TX-SR606 AV receiver and the picture quality is just stunning. Prefer the Optimum picture mode best so far. At first we thought the 60" was a little too big for our family room but now we couldn't imagine a smaller TV working as well. Attractive looking unit with glossy black borders. We attached the included speaker on the bottom of the unit because we think the system looks better with it installed (although we don't use the speaker for audio). Highly recommend this TV, and all that talk in the reviews about deep blacks is so true. Bought TV through Amazon, and received free white glove service. White glove service was just okay for us. They brought the TV into the room where we wanted it but argued with us about installing the stand. They wanted to lean the TV against the wall and plug it in to verify it worked. Can you image expensive/huge TV just leaning against the wall as something good? We refused to accept this as a "setup" of the TV and they eventually put the stand on and then plugged the system in. All worked fine and they were out of here. For now, we think this TV is the best you can get. Buy this TV!! You will not regret it. Date: 2008-11-22 Great tv and great problem solutions.(from amazon customer service dept.) Ordered on a Saturday and delivered on Wednesday of that week. Monday on that week I received a email from amazon customer service concierge team (James) to call him if there any problems. On Tuesday I got a call from the delivery company to set a time for that. I asked if the white glove delivery was coded on the paperwork. She said it was. Well when the truck arrived, he was by himself. Asked about white glove service,he did not know any thing about that. The container looked in good shape so I accepted it. I called the amazon customer service concierge team and informed James of the situation. He gave me a few options, return, call shipping company to pick up or I could assemble it. For my trouble I would be given a credit of $103.52. I had no trouble assembling with the clear instructions that came with it. I'm satisfied with everything the way things turned out. Kudos to James and amazon. Date: 2008-11-11 Pioneer Kuro PDP-6020FD This Plasma is one of the greats. Detail, depth, quality of resolution are superb. It makes you wonder why everyone is jumping on the LCD wagon. Honestly, LCDs have very nice pictures in the upper end models, however, I do not see LCDs being close to the smoothness, depth, and just plain delivery that this plasma can put out...and Pioneer is the paradigm of this technology. Date: 2008-10-30 Exceptional! Have only had this Kuro plasma for a week, but sure enjoying the World Series & all the HD channels. We don't have a BlueRay yet but that's coming soon. If you can't decide between this and the Elite, and if money is no object, go for the Elite BUT if you are over 50, like us, save your money and just get this one as older eyes can hardly detect any difference in picture quality. Yes, there are a couple more bells and whistles on the Elite, but this is one amazing tv. It does give off some heat so be prepared for that. You will need a special cable wire and a surge protector, so expect to add another $150 for those. Go for it and you'll feel rewarded each time you turn it on. Date: 2008-10-22 Incredible High Definition Picture I bought this set from Amazon over two months ago and have waited until now to add my review. The initial delay was due to DirecTVs 4 week waiting list to hook up their HR22 high definition DVR to this amazing Pioneer Kuro set. Since I was forced to watch standard def images on the 6020FD for almost a month, you can guess the difference a high definition picture made. I can not add to the superlatives mentioned in the other reviews with regard to the Pioneer Kuro. The colors are vivid and the images literally jump off the screen. I didn't understand all the talk about the color "black" and how it's different from plasma to plasma but I do now. Want to really be blown away by this new tv? Punch up one of the kids channels available in high def like Disney or The Cartoon Network. The color saturation on these animated shows is not to be believed. Even my kids are impressed by the set. Here are a few caveats for the White Glove Delivery as I too, had a few issues. First, working with Amazon was a joy with regard to this order. The problem I had was with CEVA when they called to schedule delivery. I asked them to verify the White Glove Service and they did NOT show that in their files. A quick call to Amazon fixed everything, no problem. I would recommend checking to see if White Glove Delivery has been selected. Secondly, the two guys who delivered my set were excellent unlike some other reviews I've read here. I've found in life if you treat people nicely with respect, often times you'll receive better service. The old adage of attracting more flies with honey as opposed to vinegar. They brought the set in, removed it from the box, placed it on the table where I wanted it, and powered it up (even though I had read the online Pioneer manual weeks ago). All I did was offer them a few sodas for their trouble. One final thing to remember is that the speakers are packed below the set. I hooked my 6020FD to some speakers that I installed in the wall and almost let the delivery guys take the box away as they were leaving. Am so glad I didn't as they would have been throwing away the Pioneer speaker enclosure for the set. Don't make this same mistake!!! I'm now in the market for another plasma that will be placed in our game room. Shall be ordering from Amazon again without a doubt. * Price is subject to change. |
