Best Customer Review
As other reviewers have already stated with plenty of supporting information, the picture quality of this set is fantastic, even if you’re watching an SD broadcast, and the sound from the detachable speaker bar is good enough to let you forgo, or at least put off, investing in a surround-sound system. What you may not know is that you can currently buy a PDP-5010fd from the Sam’s Club auction website for around 1.2K, (which the guy I bought mine RIGHT HERE ON AMAZON did immediately after he got my 2 grand), so factor that in to your buying decision.
If you are unlucky, you may get one with an annoying buzz of varying intensity that emanates from the back of the panel. My set is blissfully silent, but many plasma panels are not. If you get one with a more serious issue, and live near an authorized Pioneer warranty service provider, just have it repaired – that’s a lot cheaper than trying to ship one of these back at your own expense. Pioneer isn’t making these anymore, but they’ll still stand behind them for the 1-year warranty period.
I now own both a 60-inch Pioneer Plasma, and this 50-inch, and love both of them. If cost isn’t your primary concern, buy the PDP-6020FD instead; the picture quality of that one will bring tears of joy to your eyes. In any case, I’d rather buy the slightly over-the-hill Pioneer Kuro than a “cutting-edge” set from another maker any day. They ARE that good.
