"Nice picture quality, very poor hardware quality"
If you ignore the warnings in here and buy from Pioneer, at least get an extended warranty to make up for the very poor reliability and sparse warranty. Mine stopped working after 14 months. When...
I did a lot of research before plunking down the cash for HD technology. I first saw this set in a Best Buy and was blown away by both the picture and the price (I hadn't checked Amazon's prices...
I hope this is useful to some and will help weigh in on any purchasing decisions being made from here or elsewhere. I love the PDP-5070hd monitor, it looks great and you can read about that in...
Pioneer's 7th generation plasma, the PDP-5070HD makes strides over last years offering, the 5060HD with improved black levels and color decoding. Pioneer has also ditched their media box receiver...
I purchased this TV in May of '07 and still havent been able to enjoy it yet! Right out of the box the picture was incredible, but the loud buzzing from the set was unbelievable!! crank the volume...
Pros: Great Picture, tons of features Cons: I havent figured it all out yet I got this TV a few months ago after weeks of agonizing over all the choices. I wanted the most for the money and i...
Pros: Dont know Cons: This is a bait and switch scenerio You get all excited to try to buy a tv online because it says that they are in stock. Once you order it you have to do the "confirmation"...
If you have a large viewing room and deep pockets, the 60-inch LG Electronics 60PY3D makes a good choice for a plasma HDTV. The price is high, but this set delivers an excellent picture and a host...
I am a person who usually has a lot of buyers remorse but not with my new LG 60'' plasma tv.I am more than happy with the TV. I was worried when shopping that the romm i intended was to bright for...
In my opinion this is probably one of the best Plasma TV's out there. I have looked at many others and own a Visio and it doesnt even come close to the picture quality of the panasonic. If I can...
As with the other sets in the PH10UK line, the 58-inch TH-58PH10UK from Panasonic is a professional display that lacks the features necessary to make it worth considering for home use. While the...
Pros: Deepest Blacks Cons: none I searched high and low for a replacement for my 42in. SuperScan. I funally settled on a Pioneer. I'm glad I did. I don't know of any other tv that has better...
"Abysmal Customer Service. Refusal to stand behind TV."
Never purchasing a Pioneer product again. Our advice to consumers who are contemplating a Pioneer purchase is to add in the cost of an extended warranty. Or go with a competing brand that values...
Yes, the 5080 is everything CNet says it is...the TV produces an unbelievable HD picture and actually does a pretty decent job with standard definition. Unfortunately, in my experience at least,...
Editors' note July 18, 2008: Due to changes in the competitive marketplace, including the publication of the Pioneer PDP-5020FD review, this review has been modified to lower its rating from 8.7 to...
If your looking for a well built plasma TV Lg 60pg60 is the one. The THX mode has very accurate colors, black levels an tints arent bad either. U can tweek this set pretty good also. The new sleek...
I recieved the 60 inch plasma TV and it worked for 3 days. Then a large black rectangle appeared in the top of the display. I worked with LG customer service back and forth for 7 weeks. 2...
I have the 50" Panasonic plasma from 3 years ago. This LG doesn't compare but for the price point I got it at I am quite satisfied with it. Let's just say my wife has no idea what I'm talking...
At CNET when we review one size DTV in the same series we often don't review another, but we're making an exception in the case of the LG 60PG60. This gigantic, 60-inch plasma has essentially the...
Pros: Picture quality & picture-in-picture Cons: Sound. For great sound hook up to surround system Pioneer still makes best quality HD. Outstanding plasma for 1080p & value. Only better HD is...
Pioneer's Kuro PDP-5010FD HDTV produced marvelous images, with deep blacks, in our tests, but this 50-inch plasma set is pricey at $4500. The Kuro PDP-5010FD scored near the top of our performance...
I had to send back a Pioneer PRO 110FD - 50" Elite KURO plasma TV - widescreen - 1080p (FullHD) - HDTV. It is a 50" 1080p plasma HDTV with far and away the best picture I have ever seen. The...
As a first-time plasma owner you might think I'd be easily impressed. Well, there's no question that HD blows away SD, and this plasma does a particularly good job with HD sources. But I was...
I havent had the tv too long, but from the experience I have had its easy to set up and right out of the box was outstanding--I can only imagine when I get to fine tune it. If I had to pick one...
Although CNET did not review the 58-inch Samsung PN58A650, we did review the 50-inch Samsung PN50A650. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Samsung flat-panel plasmas are basically identical, so...
I own a PN63a650 not a PN58A650 but want buyers to be ware. What I am seeing is the same for any size Samsung Plasma and any of the 450, 550 and 650 series. My set exhibits a pink background in...
lLoved the TV when I bought it. had it a yer and a half when the boards that run the screen burnt out. It was a 600 dollar fix. I think it should last longer that that.
We bought this set in April of this year and it has not had any problems. I have kept the settings low and only if it is a very dark picture do we see the green flashies. I can overlook this. We...
Seriously, I want Cnet to do a more thorough testing of plasmas. I dunno if it's just these samsung plasmas, but image retention comes in very quickly, within a couple minutes of use. Sometimes...
Designed for mobile TV and exclusively operating on Telstra's Next G network in Australia, the Samsung Widescreen features a unique dual-flip form factor, combining a regular flip handset with the...
Did a lot of research on this one. Already have 3 Samsung LCDs including very nice LN46A750. The LCDs have very bright sharp pictures whcih of course can be tweaked with black level and myriad...
Ever since we gave the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U an Editors' Choice award as our favorite plasma HDTV so far, we've been bombarded by variations of the same question: "Is the more expensive TH-50PZ850U...
Very good TV where it counts. Picture quality. Sharp edges, rich colors, black blacks. I've had this TV for two months and can only think of a few weaknesses. None of which should be deal breakers...
I have a combination of Vizio (1 LCD, 1 Plasma) and Samsung (2 LCD, 1 Plasma) and by far this is the best TV of all! As noted by others, the color, especially the blacks are unbelievable!
I really wish I could have rated my plasma experience higher but I just can't. Amazon gets 5 stars... but Samsung NO. Here's are my details- First set delivered by CEVA. They asked- "do you want...
Although the t.v. is a great t.v., the delivery date on amazon was way later then it stated. Pilot Frate Service was not good. They were supposed to call on the 8th, they didn't call until the...
Getting a reasonably priced plasma set isn't all that hard in 2008. There are plenty of options for consumers, and sets have reached a price that many households would consider attainable. Getting...
This t.v. is 720p. It shows a great pic. I don understand why they are crying about the sound. It is 5 inches thick! How can you fit a decent speaker in that space. This is not the Bose Soundwave....
I purchased a Samsung HPT4254 on our about Sept. 19th 2007. About two weeks ago I started experiencing problems with the TV. It would randomly turn off and cycle repeatedly for a few minutes before...
samsung makes great tvs, but buying a 42" 720p hdtv is not the best idea - for such a large tv, the quality on a plasma at 720p is not that clear. I have watched bluray movies on my ps3 with a sony...
Tv is not bad, but it is less than a year old and hdmi ports went bad and the screen has white vertical lines in it and samsung has the worst customer service. They try to screw you on the...
Samsung is not a company short on TV models, and their 64 series is a step up from the 54 series. While the sets in each brand are very similar, the 64 series features a few slight improvements...
This set blew up after one week. Samsung refused to send a repair person, claiming it could be repaired over the phone. Huh? I called their service center and they put me on hold for 15 minutes...
Watch Out - The Worst Experience - Unreliable and Poor Service. Shame on Samsung.
Absolutely my worst experience with TV's - ever. Sure, the picture is generally great, but too many problems and too many service calls. I got sucked in based on the glowing reviews and paid...
I've had this TV for over 6 months, extremely happy with my purchase. Burn-in does exist, my own fault though. When I bought a PS3 and started using it I didn't make the necessary adjustments to...
This was my first HDTV purchase after a lot of research. First of all like many people who have ordered from Amazon, I was really impressed with their white glove delivery service and the customer...
As one of the top manufacturers in the category, Samsung is a solid choice for a plasma HDTV, and the HP-T5064 is no exception. This 50-inch set boasts a sleek look that will dress up any room. The...
If you have the space for a 58-inch widescreen plasma TV, then the expense of the Samsung FP-T5884 shouldn't seem too unreasonable. (Chances are you can probably find this massive 1080p set for far...
