- Kuro 5020 Review after 1 week
- I purchased this TV along with a Pioneer BDP-51 Blu-Ray player and couldn't be happier. First off, I think the Blu-ray player and TV work well communicating together since even old dvd movies such as the Godfather look fantastic on this tv. In regards to the TV, I am impressed with the picture quality. It is even better than how it looked at my local Best Buy store. I have the setting on what Pioneer calls 'Optimum.' This has basically taken any errors out of my hand. It adjusts the picture based on the format of the input, lighting of the room and content on screen. Every channel I watch looks great (even the non-high def channels). Another mentionable item is glare - simply this tv doesn't have any. I was worried about plasmas when I was shopping tv's due to the supposed glare. The Pioneer has some sort of anti-glare coating that virtually elimiates any room glare (my tube tv had much more glare). The best LCD out there, Samsung, has signifantly more glare. Additionally, this tv has the best black level of any tv I have seen. Often times the tv's you see in the store will have these great bold colors, but anywhere it is supposed to be black, the tv has a grey color. The Pioneer has a perfect black level. I am guessing that is why they call it KURO - Japenese = Black.

- I've started watching too much TV
- The quality of this Pioneer plasma is so astounding that I find myself watching too much television - if for nothing else than to gaze at the glorious images produced by this HD plasma. Even though I work in the television industry and spend my days staring at a TV, I find myself watching even more at night.
The images are clean, the colors are true, and motion replicates that pleasant blur found in film. And it seems to smooth out that crunchy "video feel" one can find on many LED or lower end plasmas.
If you can stomach the price, it's well worth the money. Then beware of your free time ... - 2008-11-12, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Super tv
- This tv is great! I am so happy with it I don't even look at tv's when I am shopping any more. I already have "the top of the line". The picture is perfect. My son recommended this tv and I am so thankful that he "Knows his stuff". I would advise anyone to purchase it.

- Awesome PIcture
- The Pioneer Kuro PDP-5020FD has the best picture I've seen. I was at Bestbuy and it came down to the PDP-5020 and the panasonic PZ800U. It also had a great picture and was $800 less. However the Pioneer picture was better and I did get to compare them side by side. So that's the one I went with. I replaced a Sony XBR3 46"LCD. There is no comparison! Both the Pioneer and the Panasonic plasma where way better. The next thing I was worried about was do I need a extended contract on my new TV. After reading some review's and checking Consumers Report I found that would be a big waste of money. As far as having Tech come in and adjust the colors well I think right now anyways that would be a waste of money with this TV. I think the Pioneer Kuro PDP-5020FD was well worth the price. My second choice would have been the Panasonic PZ800U that to is a awsome TV.
