More Than I Could Have Wished For.......2006-06-20

I recently purchased this the Pioneer 5060 50" HD TV and I must say I am blown away. I've had a 27" for ten years with a surround sound system that sounded great. However, with three remotes and wires everywhere, I really wanted something that made things simpler. This TV is that and so much more.
Since it has it own stand, we decided to purchase a piece of furniture to put it on rather than a glass or pressboard entertainment center. It weighs around 60 lbs - which is 1/3rd the weight of the "projection" TV's. While I wouldn't suggest moving it about the house - it can be done with ease.The day before the TV arrived, I took the plunge and removed my surround sound speakers, amp, old TV and disassembled the old "entertainment" center. It weighed nearly 150 lbs and I couldn't get it out of the house by myself unless I took it apart. The Pioneer arrived and sat perfectly on the small piece of furniture we had purchased at Pier 1. What a difference it appearance. The Pioneer comes with two speakers on the side of the TV that have a special surround feature built into them. I then attached a Sony Powered subwoofer to the "sub-out" on the media box. Clean and simple. I've watched quite a few movies since and I can honestly say it sounds great - I don't miss the surround-sound mess at all.
The picture is just awesome. We watched MARCH OF THE PENGUINS - and the colors were simply amazing. It looks better than in the theatre. Pioneer Pure Vision is their patented technology to a great picture. The presets for the various picture modes are all great.
The remote is easy to use - and the supplied media box makes connectioning all your other gear simple. You don't have to go behind the TV to connect anything - a big minus with many of the other upright thin sets.
One last thing. The 50" picture fills your field of vision - and I can honeslty say watching in a darkened room is as close to a theatre experience as you can come.
I give this unit 5 big stars - the picture, the sound, the appearance, ease of use and the features of the media box really make this a winner.
Does it cost a bit more - yes - but it's worth every penny.

Great TV Little Over Priced.......2006-04-13

I purchased this TV at BEST BUY. The Model Best Buy used is PDP-5061HD 50". Must be because of price or something to that effect. I think this is one of the best TV's out there besides Panasonic or Sony. I did a lot of research alot of looking at different TV's I am no expert but the colors on the screen are just exceptional. I was really debating between the Pansonic TH-50PX500U 50" and the Pioneer. I choose the Pioneer because controling the TV was easier and three HDMI inputs. I have a XBOX 360 but I just don't want that image burn on a 5000.00 set. Overall I would highly recommend buying this TV.

Image burn-in.......2006-04-10

image burn is a huge problem. I haven't yet seen any off of TV logos (yet), but after playing xbox on this display i have one in the corner. I noticed this after I just rented a game and had played it for no more than one hour.

I had done lots of research before purchasing this model and was impressed with the reviews. My personal experience with the set has not been as good. Artifacts all over, even on HD broadcasts. Watching the winter olympics on HD was nice, but especially on snowboarding events there were blocky artifacts. Color bleeding is evident, especially on Master Shake on Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I'm not an expert by any means, so i paid to have it installed and calibrated. At no point was i warned about image burn, in fact i was told it wouldn't happen..."oh this is 5th gen plasma they got rid of that problem..."

Overall I can't recommend this set at all. Artifacts, color bleeding and image burn after less than hour is unacceptable for a set at this price.

Great TV!.......2005-11-23

I just got this TV and am very impressed.

One note, a prior review said this TV was 2K cheaper at Costco. When I looked, I found a Pioneer 50", but it was a different model.
