Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Pioneer's 50-inch, digital cable ready PDP-5050HD PureVision plasma TV represents the state-of-the-art from head to toe. Its perfectly flat, high-contrast, high-brightness (1,000 cd/m2) display benefits from high-quality engineering and innovative Pioneer enhancement technologies.
With a plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the PDP-5050HD is a mere 3.7 inches deep, perfect for desk or wall mounting. Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems.
The PDP-5050HD is packaged with a stand-alone media receiver equipped with an ATSC terrestrial HDTV tuner and a full set of interfaces, including a next-generation High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). This all-digital, high-bandwidth interface can transfer huge amounts of pure, digital data at very fast rates.
The media receiver is compatible with high-definition terrestrial broadcast transmissions as well as NTSC (standard definition) broadcasts, both of which factor into the set's 2-tuner PIP (picture-in-picture) performance. The media receiver also manages an array of inputs, including satellite, cable, DVD, DVR/VCR, and computer signals up to wide XGA (1,280 x 768).
In the PDP-5050HD, each individual lamp is encased in its own deep "cell," with walls on all sides so light can't bleed into neighboring cells. This energy-efficient design allows each lamp to deliver a more concentrated beam of light, rendering truer colors and brighter images.
The set also uses a first-surface Pure Color Filter. The PDP-5050HD's clear front is actually a precisely manufactured optical-grade non-glass panel. It acts as a color filter that increases the spectrum of light emitted by the plasma, for a fuller range of colors and exceptional color accuracy over previous models, which use front filters made of glass. It also increases contrast by limiting ambient light reflections in bright viewing environments.
Pioneer PureDrive ensures a pure digital signal path from source to image. With PureDrive, an analog broadcast is converted once to digital and remains in the digital domain until viewing. All incoming digital signals go through no analog-to-digital conversion. By minimizing or eliminating the A/D or D/A conversions, Pioneer reduces various kinds of digital "noise."
Advanced PureCinema maintains faithful and accurate reproduction of film-based content. Pioneer was the first to introduce advanced film detection using 3:3 film-to-video conversion at 72 Hz in a plasma display. This renders film content smoothly and naturally, closer to what you'd see in a movie theater. Previously, televisions offered only 3:2 film-to-video conversion at 60 Hz, which--while still a great improvement over unprocessed video--nevertheless resulted in visible onscreen artifacts, such as slightly uneven motion.
Pioneer's Advanced Continuous-Emission display technology III (ACE III) represents another first, eliminating false contours that can appear in close-ups of faces. This improved 10-bit processing allows 1,792 gradation steps for each cell, so the television can display smooth transitions from dark to light areas without losing detail or compromising the image contrast. ACE II works with PureDrive to permit the set to display more than a billion colors.
You can position the set on a table or mount it to the wall, and it's designed to accent almost any home decor. For digital programming, you'll also enjoy access to the Passport Banner electronic program guide.
Connections abound: choose from 17 digital and analog terminals, including dual HDMI and IEEE 1394 (i.Link) connections, a front-panel RGB jack for easy connection to a PC or Macintosh output, and a range of composite-, component-, and S-video inputs. S-video/composite-video/RF tuner outputs foster hookup with ancillary devices such as DVRs or VCRs. The set also includes side-mounted speakers and a tabletop stand that swivels.
What's in the Box

Product Description:
Pioneer Plasma screen technology moves miles ahead of competition to deliver top performance color and imaging as part of your home-theater environment. The image is so sharp and definitive that you can use this as a monitor display for your PC computer system (analog and digital). With Pioneer's new Advanced PureCinema with pulldown, film-based material on DVD, videotape, and even regular TV will match the smooth, natural reproduction you'd see in a theater. DCR (Digital Cable Ready) Tuner with Passport Banner (requires PSIP support) provides easy plug n play of basic cable channels without the need for an outboard cable box. The clear front of the PDP-5050HD is actually a precisely manufactured optical-grade non-glass panel. It acts as a color filter that increases the spectrum of light emitted by the plasma, for a fuller range of colors and exceptional color accuracy vs. previous versions which use front filters made of glass. It also increases contrast by limiting ambient light reflections in bright viewing environments, delivering up to 1280 x 768 resolution for HDTV capability. ACE III (Advanced Continuous Emission III) uses 10-bit processing to produce 1,792 gradation steps for each cellĀ?creating a palette of well over 1 billion colors and delivering reproduction accuracy up to 16 times greater than other panels. Just add a home-theater surround sound system and home entertainment moves up several notches. Built-in ATSC tuner lets you receive free over-air HDTV signals ( optional HDTV antenna required ).
