Pioneer KRP-500A

When I heard that this TV was a 'limited edition', I pretty much bought it based on that. Given my recent coming into money, I thought it would be really cool to own a TV that only 1000 other people own, which it is. And it's an amazing TV to boot!

Look and Design

First thing you notice is that this TV is huge, at 50in it's like bringing the cinema to your living room. I also feel this TV makes a statement; people walk into your house, see this and think, 'wow, they're doing well'. I am just a little bit worried about burglars now though. The marketers claim it 'harmonises elegantly with a wide spectrum of interior designs'. Which really is a mouthful to not say very much isn't it? But I have to agree, it does seem to go with pretty much anything. The flat screen design is eye catching, and while I wouldn't quite say that it expresses 'great beauty and intense emotion' (read the manufacturer's product description :p) , it is certainly a good looking TV.

Function

Not really much more you could ask for, it has amazing screen quality and it even has the most amazing ability to sense light conditions, using something called an enhanced optimum mode, and display the picture accordingly, no more closing the curtains to get a better picture. The sound quality is also magnificent. When watching this TV, you do actually feel like you're sitting in a cinema (minus the annoying 500 other people, and a more comfortable chair) and sometimes as if you're really there.

Overall

A perfect TV, great size and picture quality, with the added bonus of being able to brag that you're one of relatively few people that own one. The only problem being the price tag, and it being a bit large.
