Advantages: Loads of features and great picture Disadvantages: Needs to be installed by an engineer
...Already renowned as one of the finest plasma TV manufacturers, Pioneer have done the unthinkable, and improved upon the award-winning PDP435. The new PDP436FDE, features all that was great about the previous model, but with some useful enhancements to boot.
The "Pureblack" crystal layer takes contrast levels to new horizons, whilst the "Pure Drive 2HD" digital video processing, smartly optimises picture quality from each source.
As before, the PDP436FDE is fully HD Ready and, also as before, you can look forward to one of the sharpest, clearest and most natural pictures in its class.

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...

Also called Pioneer Kuro. Kuro stands for black and each one of the plasmas within this range has been designed to deliver better black levels than any other flat TV on the market. You may be thinking why is the black so important? You are probably more... more
This TV simply oozes quality in every area. The panel itself is of the highest quality I have ever experienced. Some firms make the mistake of producing a high-quality panel, coupled with mediocre sound. I really do believe this set has extremely high... more
