Pioneer KURO PDP-5010FD

With plasma televisions, one of the top measurements people use to distinguish the best from the rest is: "how black are its blacks?"

Pioneer's KURO line of plasma HDTVs have a reputation for displaying blacker blacks than just about any series out there, and the model PDP-5010FD looks to be another fine example.

The PDP-5010FD isn't one of the cheaper plasma models on the market today, but if you're considering a Pioneer vs. the likes of Panasonic and the others, you already know you're going to pay more for a premium set. And the PDP-5010FD has a feature-rich list of specs to justify the cost.

Pioneer's KURO plasma sets are uniquely able to display deep, rich blacks because they implement enhanced crystal emissive layers suited for color depth and contrast at a level unmatched by other leading sets available today.

Pioneer's Advanced PureCinema feature enables the PDP-5010FD to display HD films in a manner that makes the action seem more fluid and dynamic than ever.

And the PDP-5010FD's advanced light sensor will automatically detect the light level of your room and adjust the television's settings accordingly, ensuring you experience optimal viewing quality no matter the viewing conditions.

So, is the PDP-5010FD the ideal HDTV for you?

Does your viewing room require a 50" screen, with seats approx. 12 feet from where the television will sit?

Have you researched a full comparison of plasma vs. LCD vs. DLP to make sure plasma is the best choice for you? (Plasmas excel in displaying accurate blacks, have great viewing angles, and are more comfortable to watch in the dark due to the comparably high brightness of LCDs)

Do you have high definition video sources capable of outputting 1080p resolution to the PDP-5010FD?

If you answered yes to these questions, the PDP-5010FD may be a great set for your needs. But before you buy, research what buyers of the PDP-5010FD have to say about it. Read user reviews at Amazon.com.
