Pioneer Kuro PDP-5020FD Plasma HDTV Review
The Pioneer Kuro Plasma HDTV is quite expensive but it has absolutely amazing details and colors; this product also comes with incorporated speakers and various types of connectors.
Although this HDTV has a big price (around $4500), it managed to amaze people when it showed awesome blacks and outstanding images during tests. With its new improved colors, numerous facilities, and great sound quality it will give you a whole different feeling when it comes to entertainment. Watching TV seemed like a common hobby, but with this new Pioneer HDTV you will feel like you take part in everything.
Famous movies, like Lord of the Rings or Mission Impossible, have an incredible immersive quality when watched at their best quality on the Kuro PDP-5020. I must mention that the night scenes look amazing, especially when watching Lord of the Rings;The Kuro 5020FD almost brings the this fantasy world into your own home.
This Pioneer Kuro HDTV also transmits the most authentic skin color we have ever seen, making everything more real than we expected it to be. Of course, brightness and contrast are top quality contributing to its amazing feeling of reality.
Many Plasma, and particularly LCD, TVs struggle to produce accurate and deep blacks. Pioneer have succeeded eminently. With their new digital processing and color filtering they have managed to improve image quality when it comes to HDTVs. Talking about blacks, I should also mention that 'kuro' actually means 'black' in Japanese, so no wonder their black is exceptional. Nothing, so far, comes close to matching it.
As I mentioned earlier, this amazing TV comes with speakers, which offer excellent audio quality, and can be detached. The audio system is composed of speakers with woofer and tweeter components. So, when you are watching a musical, you will feel like being in the middle of the whole story. Poor audio is a thing of the past.
The Kuro HDTV has a simple design, which inspires elegance and originality. You cannot fail with this design, as it suits any home d?r and taste. You can easily place it in a den or family room or display it in your bedroom with ease and it won't stand out.
Another important aspect is the light sensor; this will actually increase the image brightness according to the ambient light in your room, due to the new technology called Optimum Video Mode. With this option, you can avoid the problems of having to adjust the your screen settings to match whatever the lighting situation around you, such as in the middle of the day and teh low light of evening.
The remote has a great silver color and combines on-screen display menu and submenu access. It also has shortcuts to the main functions and you don't have to find a source of light to see your buttons, because they glow in the dark.
The TVt has several types of input like the HDMI inputs, three composite ports, USB ports (if you want to see images on this wonderful HDTV, simply attach your card reader), and two component ports. After you attach any card reader, you need to select the Home Gallery option and you can see an amazing slideshow of your desired pictures. Your pictures never looked so beautiful, and their quality is astounding.
If you want to hide the cable source, you just have to use the Cable Card slot and you won't even notice it is there. While the range of connectors and facilities is excellent, a disadvantage is the fact that it doesn't come with cable management aid.
The Kuro PDP-5020FD is a wonderful product if you want to bring your favorite movies to life. Although the price is rather high, the revolutionary technology offers a unique feeling, extraordinary colors, and wonderful sounds. People who can afford paying $4500 on this amazing HDTV will be very satisfied and won't regret their investment. They will change their whole opinion about home entertainment. Quite simply, it is the best HDTV money can buy.
