View larger./span /td /tr /table bOutstanding Video Performance/bbr With a screen as large as this, high resolution becomes more important because it is more possible to view each pixel from a distance. The PDP-5010FD is a native 1080p display, meaning it has a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, the highest standard available. The black levels on plasma screens are generally superb and this unit is no exception, with blacks that are an intense, deep black and a picture that has very high contrast as a result.p The display features Pioneer's new ASIC video processing and scaling, which upconverts standard definition and other video resolutions for viewing at 1080p. A variety of noise reduction circuitry ensures a distortion-free picture at all times. Users can manually adjust the color temperature, gamma, and the levels of noise reduction circuitry and filters to fine tune the picture to their exact specifications.p An optical light sensor automatically adjusts the picture for optimal viewing depending on the ambient light in the room, compensating for night and day and for the content of the video, such as sports, movies, or news. The PDP-5010FD also has a film mode that eliminates motion judder and provides smoother playback of film content.p The PDP-5010FD is capable of remembering six picture settings for various A/V selections, with Movie, Game, Standard, Dynamic, and Optimum modes, as well as a user-defined preset. You can also set one of five aspect ratio presets in case you're watching standard-aspect 4:3 television. The television can also be set to auto-size when zooming is necessary.p bConnections for all your Components/bbr The PDP-5010FD has a large complement of inputs, including four independent HDMI 1.3 inputs (two with analog audio). Additionally, it has two component inputs, three composite inputs, and one S-Video input. There is a USB connection that can connect a storage drive for viewing of photos. A built-in CableCard slot enables the PDP-5010FD to work with cable services without an extra decoding box. An ATSC and two NTSC tuners are built in and fully integrated for use with picture-in-picture and picture-side-picture modes. The television has outputs for Dolby Digital/PCM, audio, subwoofer, SR+, and headphone. The TV Guide On-Screen programming guide is included as well.p bBreathtaking Audio/bbr The PDP-5010FD features a detachable bottom speaker with an integrated digital amplifier that improves the clarity and accuracy of the sound. The amplifier provides 17 watts of power for the two-way speakers and supports SRS WOW/FOCUS/TruBass surround sound.p The PDP-5010FD is backed by a 1-year limited warranty. br clear="all"

simply the best November 26, 2008
David F. Judd (usa)
After shopping and reviewing flat panel T.V.'S for over a year,all roads kept leading back to Pioneer. After finally biting the bullet and taking the plunge, I chose the KURO 5010. Well the moment of truth arrived when I recieved the T.V. and and got it hooked up to an HD signal. WOW! My wife and I couldn't believe our eyes. The picture is absolutely the very best I have ever seen. The in store picture just doesn't compare.(unless you see it play blue ray) The cable guy, after hooking up the set, was blown away. He said it smoked his brand new Samsung 52" LCD. In fact I felt a little sad for him as I could see his disappointment that he may have made the wrong choice. Watching football on this thing is amazing. You can see the individual blades of grass on the field. And no motion blur at all. My only problem now is,I have the stress of probably being the default host for the Super Bowl once my football buddies see it. br / A warning to anyone that buys this thing. Get your chores done for the day before you turn it on.
 Fantastic Plasma, Only one problem... October 1, 2008
M. Vermette (Chicago, IL)
I have been in awe of this television since I got it a month ago from Best Buy. I bought the four year service plan and unfortunately I believe I will need to use it. The panel has the best picture I've seen yet except for the Kuro Elite panel. The only flaw is a buzzing sound that changes pitch depending on what the panel displays. When I switch to power mode 2 it fades a little but it is still there and annoying. I hope that when the panel gets calibrated it will fix it but if not I will be throwing a fit to Best Buy to repair or replace the TV. Other than that the TV is great!
Simply stunning device August 3, 2008

Jaw droppingly beautiful picture. Sound, wonderful. I can't imagine how a picture could be better. br / br /Pioneer's standard of excellence is off the charts. Few other TV's may amaze you like these.
Awesome! June 10, 2008

I've had this TV for about 3 months now and it is amazing. When I go to other people's houses and look at their non-Kuro plasmas, or even LCDs, I quietly snicker when they tell me how amazing the picture is on their sets. They don't know what they're missing! br / br /I don't have much to say about the picture quality, other than it is in a class all it's own. I am very satisfied with my purchase. I do lots of fine art and photography printing and have been doing so for years, and have a trained eye for image quality. I obsess over tiny details in my printing. Pioneer definitely has the best plasma technology out there. br / br /I would like to ding my review 1/2 star because of the tuner, but that wouldn't be fair to Pioneer since I believe most people don't use an antenna like I do. I am pulling my signal from an outdoor HDTV antenna. I am having problems with my channels 2.1 and 4.1 4.2. It seems the problem is a combination of my location being quite close to the towers and the software in the Kuro tuner not able to cope with my location. br / br /I've tried different antennas, moving the location on the roof, and amplifiers attenuators. Nothing works completely. My Pioneer works fine a few miles away at the dealer with any antenna, but not at my house much closer to the towers. I have improved the problem channels quite a lot with a mobile antenna mount that is weighted down with cinder block - and pointing the antenna in the wrong direction, but I do still have some problem with the image on those 2 channels. I can get the problem to disappear for a few hours, but it returns. It is as thought the tuner is "learning" the signal wrong. I am going to next try a less powerful indoor antenna to see what that does. Anyone want to buy a set of outdoor antenna, amplifiers and attenuators? :) Real cheap! :) br / br /As to the audible buzz other reviewers have mentioned, I will get the buzz too when I install an amplifier for the antenna. But the buzz disappears when the amp is removed. br / br /I very highly recommend the Elite Kuro to anyone who is using satellite or cable TV. If they will be using an antenna for their signal, I would explain my difficulties caused by being too close to the towers and have them keep their location in mind.
Best Online Purchase I Have Ever Made! May 27, 2008

First, the purchase and delivery experience: br /I purchased the pdp-5010fd directly from amazon.com, and I could not have been happier with the experience. I ordered it online on Saturday evening, and the local delivery company called me on Wednesday to arrange for a delivery time on Thursday morning. The television was not supposed to have arrived until the following week. br /When the television arrived, two men carried it in, uncrated it, and set it on my stand. All told it took 10 minutes tops. The delivery men were very courteous and waited around for me to inspect the television for breakage or defect but not for me to turn it on and make sure it worked. br /I saved hundreds over purchasing this television locally, and I would totally make another purchase of this expense again from amazon.com. br / br /The television itself: br /In a word, outstanding! I absolutely love this television. I expected the hd channels to look awesome, and they are (I cannot wait until football this fall), but for me the pleasant surprise is that 480p content from my sony es dvd player looks very good, also, through component video. I had read that this television did a good job of upconverting content 480i/480p content, but it is much better than I expected. You will not be disappointed in the performance of this television. Ours is in the living room, which is quite bright during the day, as a lot of sunlight comes in, and it still looks great. I also have no issue with the amount of reflection on the screen (it is less than the old 31" CRT television that it replaced).
