I have had this TV for a few years now and it has served me well despite a few mishaps. The first few things to mention about this product are that is a 43 inch, HD (High Definition), Plasma TV. The screen can be wall mounted and the TV has a separate media box from the screen. The media box in case you are wondering, is where all the receiving of channels and everything else goes on. Like a computer the screen just displays graphics from the media box.
HIGH DEFINITION (HD)
This Pioneer TV can display high definition to the highest standard level- 1080p. In case you don't know, high definition services usually come in 3 resolutions 720p, 1080i, 1080p (in order of worst to best). In conjunction with Sky's HD service the 2 are a good combination.
OTHER FUNCTIONS
The media box includes a digital freeview receiver which is good ...
The design on the TV is great. The side speakers are very well integrated with the TV and don't stand out either (they are removable as well if you plan to use a surround sound speaker system). The picture is outstanding and I felt it really was head-and-shoulders above the other TVs I was considering (Sharp Aquos, Sony Plasmas, Philips, Hitachi and Panasonic).
I went to a several retailers and looked at the large Plasma tvs with the same High Definition signal and the Poineer was the best there. As i said before the picture quality is the best i have experienced and this TV delivers a stunning picture which sharp contrast and no pixelization and the sound quality is also great with everything sounding like it has just happened beside you and with Pioneer's new PDP-505HD Advanced PureCinema,material on DVD, videotape, and even ...
The PDP-501MX Plasma Display uses a high-definition XGA wide panel, which provides 1280 x 768 resolution with more than 980.000 pixels. This resolution is more than 2.5 times higher than that of conventional panels, and enables multimedia information to be reproduced more vividly and accurately than ever before. Clear, high-quality image provides 8-bit RGB in 256 gradations/16.77 million colors. A new exclusive technology developed by Pioneer eliminates the pseudo-contour anomaly, that is typically observed in plasma displays. A brightness of 350 cd/m2 (white peak, for panel unit), which is the highest so far for XGA panels, has been achieved by maximizing light-emitting efficiency. The Pioneer plasma display monitor is also unrivalled in compactness: the 50-inch screen is only 98 mm in depth, and weighs only 43.0 kg. It can therefore be mounted at locations where conventional displays are difficult to install. This monitor also supports HDTV broadcasts.
