The Pioneer KURO PDP-6010FD features Pioneer's Smooth Film Motion, a processing technology that delivers 3:2 Pulldown to display fluid movement during your favorite films and TV shows, reducing the motion blur and other irregularities inferior TVs may experience.

Plus, the PDP-6010FD is equipped with Advanced PureCinema for 3.3 Pulldown (72Hz), which enhances the video signal for source material orginally shot on film. This gives the moving images of films a fluidity of motion that matches the type of movement you'd see on the big screen.

The PDP-6010FD is packed with a multitude of connection options to handle all your AV components. At the top of the list is 4 HDMI 1.3 inputs, which allow HDMI-CEC control, and are capable of accepting 1080p 24/60Hz signals.

Optimum Video Mode enables the PDP-6010FD to detect the amount of ambient light in the viewing room and automatically change the brightness and contrast settings to compensate for conditions that might detract from the viewing experience.

And the PDP-6010FD's enhanced crystal emissive layer enables the TV to display rich, deep color (particularly black tones, notoriously tricky for even the highest end televisions to produce accurately) while maintaining a high level of detail even in shadows.
