 KURO 5020 Rocks; PILOT Delivery -Disorganized January 6, 2009
The 50 inch 5020FD KURO is well worth the moneys, especially @ the Amazon's prices. Super deep blacks, sharp/crisp images, sleek design. HDTV was very easy to set up with PS3,ONKYO TX-SR606 and my PSB T65 speakers. I'm starting to forget the reason of going to the movies.
A quick note on delivery. As I had no doubts about the TV, I did have some reservations as far as the delivery would go. PILOT (Boston)was delivering mine. They forgot to code this as 'white glove', so I had to get out in the snow to help the guy carry it into my place. Called up the Amazon right after that and they refunded me the $75 on already free 'white glove' delivery. Very nice of them. Unlike other HDTVs that I noticed inside of the delivery truck, mine was fixed on a wooden base stand, which definitely helped to maintain the stability of the TV inside of the truck. TV arrived in perfect condition.
the best around December 31, 2008
CNET reviewed this product with very high marks; they got it right. This is my 2nd pioneer tv, first one is 15 years old and still works and I thought it had the best picture available at that time. Pioneer still has the best picture available. The picture is awesome, the sound is good, for a tv, not theater. It is really cool to connect my camera to the tv and watch the pictures I just made. The menus are straightforward and a breeze to navigate. One odd thing is the power switch, it was not in the documentation, there was a tech support sheet which showed the location, but was poorly done. Who hides a power switch on the back?
The amazon white glove delivery service exceeded my expectations. They brought it into my house, unboxed and tested and set it up on my cabinet. Can't ask for anything more than that.
Initially, when I looked at this tv, the Panasonic that was 2nd on CNET was about 1/2 the price of the Pioneer. When I found it at Amazon, the cost was much closer and for me a no brainer, I'd rather have the pioneer.
Geek Squad not required December 28, 2008
I have had this for a week. Movies (I dont yet have a blue-ray) played from DVD are very good. HD Movies and shows (verizon FIOS) was excellent - the colors are rich, extremely realistic and makes watching a pleasure. I am upgrading from a Panasonic 480p 42' Viera series Plasma - which is pretty decent itself - this Pioneer is the best display I have ever seen. I dont regret paying $800 or $400 more than other brands - i believe this is a step up in picture quality and features. Viewing distance 10 feet is good enough, looks fine from 5 feet itself.
Setup is a no-brainer - not too many controls to mess with. Just works out of the box, excellent HD TV with no special tweaking! I have a Harmon Kardon / Polk receiver-speaker setup, but dont feel inclined to use that, as the Pioneer sound is very good.
Have tried the USB port to view pictures - works very well. Has lots of ports and inputs and outputs to ensure you wont be stranded.
I will post cons as I find them, as I only had it for a few days now.
Excellent purchase, good value when found on sale December 27, 2008
I found this on sale on Amazon at an outstanding price. I have no regrets whatsoever. Superb black levels and although it lacks all of the intricate bells and whistles of the Pioneer Elite series, I really don't miss it. Plenty of HDMI inputs and it has a sleek, classy look to it to boot!
Blown away. December 26, 2008
I'm no videophile but I could not pass this TV up. Bestbuy had it open box in store for $1,500..I was looking to get a Samsung LCD (LN46a630) but while I waited for the price to drop, I found this gem..I haven't looked back since. I was VERY worried about so-called "input lag" that plagues modern sets. While I've heard mixed results with the sammy, I can tell you without a doubt that this TV is solid. I am sensitive to lag and could not notice a delay when playing wii over components. With XBox360 over HDMI I got the same results. I even used GH:Aerosmith's lag calibrator to determine the audio/video lag and I think the worst results were ~20ms but were usually even much closer to 0ms.
The short of it is that this TV is more than solid for games...and did i mention it looks amazing?
If you live somewhere cold, it could also double as a heater..can't wait to get my energy bill! :)
