Discover for yourself what happens when sight and sound come together in the most extraordinary, beautiful and amazing way of ways in the new Pioneer KURO PDP-5020FD.

It`s a world so vivid – so lifelike, so incredibly stimulating, everything is completely changed.

This is a world where everything you see and hear, performs in ways previously unimagined. A new slimmer body profile paves the way to the future. But elegance and flawless design are only the beginning.

With an all-new Optimum Mode, the KURO lets you enjoy entertainment as it was meant to be. No need to toggle through or change settings for each type of programming. Built -in intelligence seamlessly monitors content and room light, and then automatically adjusts both audio and video settings for an immaculate picture and pristine sound. Together they become something remarkable and unlike any other experience. Sports come alive, news casts are crisp and clear and movies take on a life all their own.

The new KURO features a totally redesigned GUI (graphical user interface) for ease of navigation. A universe of advanced picture-in-picture settings and game control preferences ensures your experience is unique and tailored to your specific tastes. Improved video processing for both standard and high-definition content surpasses our highest standards and provides you with the best viewing experience possible today. But there`s more to this world than meets the eye. It sounds different too – thanks to a fully integrated digital amplifier and detachable bottom speaker, improved audio and clarity have become the norm.

All later power-ups are timely. No fans so very quiet and runs cool. Would pr..." Read Full Review »

Poor Image with Standard Definition TV

"I purchased this TV, Pioneer PDP-5020FD, and Im returning it due to poor picture quality. I know that sounds crazy, but read on. I have both the Panasonic TH-50PZ700U and the Pioneer Kuro PDP-5020FD. The Panasonic does a much much better job upconverting standard 480i cable TV compared to the Pioneer. With HD TV or BluRay pictures the difference between the two is slight, but the Pioneer is better. Ive discussed..." Read Full Review »

"If your budget allows, this is BY FAR the best plasma you can get at J&R (Pioneer Elite is a step above, but not available at J&R and quite a bit more expensive). Blows away LCD (which is really only good for regular TV or slow action HD such as nature shows... and only then if the unrealistic brig …"  Read Full Review »
