Outstanding Video Performance
With a screen as large as this, high resolution becomes more important because it is more possible to view each pixel from a distance. The PDP-5010FD is a native 1080p display, meaning it has a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, the highest standard available. The black levels on plasma screens are generally superb and this unit is no exception, with blacks that are an intense, deep black and a picture that has very high contrast as a result.

The display features Pioneer's new ASIC video processing and scaling, which upconverts standard definition and other video resolutions for viewing at 1080p. A variety of noise reduction circuitry ensures a distortion-free picture at all times. Users can manually adjust the color temperature, gamma, and the levels of noise reduction circuitry and filters to fine tune the picture to their exact specifications.

An optical light sensor automatically adjusts the picture for optimal viewing depending on the ambient light in the room, compensating for night and day and for the content of the video, such as sports, movies, or news. The PDP-5010FD also has a film mode that eliminates motion judder and provides smoother playback of film content.

The PDP-5010FD is capable of remembering six picture settings for various A/V selections, with Movie, Game, Standard, Dynamic, and Optimum modes, as well as a user-defined preset. You can also set one of five aspect ratio presets in case you're watching standard-aspect 4:3 television. The television can also be set to auto-size when zooming is necessary.

Connections for all your Components
The PDP-5010FD has a large complement of inputs, including four independent HDMI 1.3 inputs (two with analog audio). Additionally, it has two component inputs, three composite inputs, and one S-Video input. There is a USB connection that can connect a storage drive for viewing of photos. A built-in CableCard slot enables the PDP-5010FD to work with cable services without an extra decoding box. An ATSC and two NTSC tuners are built in and fully integrated for use with picture-in-picture and picture-side-picture modes. The television has outputs for Dolby Digital/PCM, audio, subwoofer, SR+, and headphone. The TV Guide On-Screen programming guide is included as well.

Breathtaking Audio
The PDP-5010FD features a detachable bottom speaker with an integrated digital amplifier that improves the clarity and accuracy of the sound. The amplifier provides 17 watts of power for the two-way speakers and supports SRS WOW/FOCUS/TruBass surround sound.

The PDP-5010FD is backed by a 1-year limited warranty.

Customer Review: simply the best
After shopping and reviewing flat panel T.V.'S for over a year,all roads kept leading back to Pioneer. After finally biting the bullet and taking the plunge, I chose the KURO 5010. Well the moment of truth arrived when I recieved the T.V. and and got it hooked up to an HD signal. WOW! My wife and I couldn't believe our eyes. The picture is absolutely the very best I have ever seen. The in store picture just doesn't compare.(unless you see it play blue ray) The cable guy, after hooking up the set, was blown away. He said it smoked his brand new Samsung 52" LCD. In fact I felt a little sad for him as I could see his disappointment that he may have made the wrong choice. Watching football on this thing is amazing. You can see the individual blades of grass on the field. And no motion blur at all. My only problem now is,I have the stress of probably being the default host for the Super Bowl once my football buddies see it. A warning to anyone that buys this thing. Get your chores done for the day before you turn it on.
Customer Review: Fantastic Plasma, Only one problem...
I have been in awe of this television since I got it a month ago from Best Buy. I bought the four year service plan and unfortunately I believe I will need to use it. The panel has the best picture I've seen yet except for the Kuro Elite panel. The only flaw is a buzzing sound that changes pitch depending on what the panel displays. When I switch to power mode 2 it fades a little but it is still there and annoying. I hope that when the panel gets calibrated it will fix it but if not I will be throwing a fit to Best Buy to repair or replace the TV. Other than that the TV is great!


We often hear the word LCD but do we actually know what it actually means? LCD is the acronym for Liquid Crystal Display. These televisions have become popular because of their high-resolution and excellent image quality. The life duration of LCD TVs is known to be greater than that of Plasma TVs. Although this is true, it does not imply that LCD TVs will not deteriorate at all. They are also prone to damages and other electronic flaws. The twisting and untwisting of crystal is the principle why it is working.

Normally, the life expectancy for LCD TVs is approximately 60, 000 hours. In fact, some LCD TV companies claim that we can also expect LCD TVs to last even up to 80, 000 hours, when used under restricted settings. To achieve this longer life span, the consumer should control the temperature of the room, as well as the environmental condition and its preservation. Generally, the quality of pictures in LCD TVs will changes as years pass, this is because the TV has been exposed to great lights that could lessen the brightness of the screen. This happens even to other electronic gadgets. In this case, consumers must give significant importance to the life duration of the source of light or brightness of the LCD TV. They should check on the warranty of this feature because it is the main function that has effect on the clearness and quality of images.

To have great white stability in the LCD television, it is essential to preserve the high value or performance of the light source. The higher the quality of the back light bulb of the TV, the longer its lifespan would be. So when choosing a TV, it is better to invest on those branded once which usually comes with repair warranties than purchasing those with lower price but sacrificing the warranty which is very important. Users should also be aware that contrast level is also a factor in preserving the life span of the TV. If you use the lesser contrast level, the longer the lifespan of your LCD TV will be. And also, the higher the level of your ambient light, the lesser will be the life duration of the light source.

LCD TVs differ in terms of the placement of the light source. For example, some Sharp LCD TVs have this model wherein the light source is apart from the unit while other models have the light source built in them. The advantage of the first one is that even when the light source gets damaged, the TV will still be working. And the disadvantage for the TVs with built-in light source is that the LCD TV will become a trash if the light source deteriorates. Always keep in mind the warranty of the back light when purchasing a TV because it is the main factor why LCD TVs operates. LCD TVs cannot really last a lifetime; it has its own limitation. Unlike Plasma TVs, the lifespan of LCD TVs is not that long but they are easy to repair just like conventional televisions - that means if your TV has a maintenance warranty, you can still prolonged the life of your LCD TV after it wears off.
