5 out of 5 stars Pioneer makes best Plasmas.   August 24, 2008
I have been reading about flat panel TV's since they first hit the market. Yes, it takes me a few years to
make a decision about a new product format. The entire Pioneer plasma product line has the best black level and signal processing compared with its competitors, two areas that not enough reviewers write about. These
are the two main reasons that Pioneer stands out above the rest. The Elite line has a few more options, this year for the true videophile, more levels of picture adjustment. Pioneer tends to be at the top of the pricing scale as a base plasma TV and the additional picture adjustments were not worth the price premium to me. What I can tell you is regardless of the model, you won't be disappointed.



5 out of 5 stars great tv   August 24, 2008
this tv is amazing. no need to spend an extra 2g's for the elite model when this one is just as good to all but the most discerning viewer. right out of the box i was blown away by the picture quality. set up was a breeze. even the sound bar is pretty amazing.


5 out of 5 stars Another 5020FD review   August 11, 2008
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I purchased the 5020FD to replace my samsung 60 inch DLP. This TV is much better in everyway albeit smaller in size. You have to mount the speakers but that did not take long. The speaker quality by the way is great-- pioneer has been around since at least the 70's and they know how to make speakers. The picture is amazing-- needs some minor adjustments only. I have challenged the picture with my sony playstation 3, DVDs, and BluRays. There is no motion artifact which is troubling on LCDs. I was particularly pleased with bright whites on dark blacks-- rock concerts and movies like the Matrix and Harry Potter pixilate when lightning strikes or wands fight on LCDs but NOT on this plasma. I was very pleased with the price... currently $400-900 cheaper than best buy. 6ave delivered the TV promptly in 4 days. I am very pleased.


1 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware!   August 9, 2008
  3 out of 13 found this review helpful

I've been through 5 defective pioneer sets in the last 4 weeks. The first two, 5010fd's buzzed so loud I could hear it from the other room! I then decided to go with the newer 5020fd and when my tv arrived from amazon, it wouldn't even turn on! When I got my replacement set it had dead pixels right out of the box, but I wanted to at least keep it until another replacement came. When my third 5020fd came it wouldn't even turn on either so I decided I would still keep the set with a few dead pixels until I got a proper replacement. So they put that tv back on my stand, plugged it in and it wouldn't turn on now! The power outlets were working, so that's a pretty big quality control issue Pioneer has. I really wanted this tv because of all the great things I've heard, but now I'm in disbelief. We only took the tv off the stand, then put it back on and it wouldn't turn on anymore! Now if I could get a replacement that was perfect out of the box I would say no, because if I ever move the tv I would run the risk of being stuck with a $4000 piece of junk. REFUND!!!!!!!
