Beautiful picture, lousy company November 7, 2008 Outstanding color rendition, deep blacks, perfect clarity, remote is a bit cluttered/confusing, price is very high. Workmanship on my unit was not good, there was no product support. Authorized repair shops poo-poo fixing without warranty coverage. Flawless performance for literally 52 weeks. Scan boards (2x), Drive boards (2x) and power supply burnout resulting in catastrophic failure $1500 and 60 days without TV. Pioneer refused any warranty authorization. Tip: Buy it w/Amex and cross your fingers tightly. It's a great plasma...... when it's working. $$$$$
Unbelievable picture October 15, 2008 I normally write rather long, detailed reviews of electronics, but in this case, I'll be brief. As of October 2008, you will NOT find a better picture on any LCD or Plasma TV anywhere. "But what about that Samsung I saw at Best Buy?" -- This is better. "But what about that Sony I saw at Circuit City?" -- This is better. The blacks are solid. The reds pop off the screen like you won't believe. Buy this TV, don't look back, and you'll be as happy as you can be. I can't imagine that any 1080p TV will ever look significantly better than this.
As for mounts, if you want an articulated mount, the TV is balanced in such a way that a slightly over-engineered mount is a good investment to keep it stable. The Peerless PLAV70 with the PLP-NEC61 adapter plate is perfect. The SA760P mount is also great if you don't need to extend the TV as far but you want top-notch cable management. It also needs the PLP-NEC61 adapter plate.
Best TV I have ever owned October 2, 2008 I have owned this TV for almost a year now. I have yet to see something better. Expensive, but worth every penny. No regrets.
Just looking for a good television August 22, 2008 I admit I am not an expert in this area. Nor was I looking for all the toys/gadgets that let you do anything and everything with your television. Just someone who wanted a great television for his family. After the research, settled on the Pioneer PDP-6010FD . I have not been disappointed. The picture is excellent, the internal settings and options are easy to follow and it simply looks great. The external light sensor that changes the picture depending on the light in the room is an unexpected bonus that really makes a difference.
The downside is you really need someone/a team to hang this for you (we put ours above our fireplace). The remote is a little intimidating, a bit hard to get used to but that is a minor annoyance.
Overall, the reviews about how good a television this is are simply correct. Other reviews can tell you about all the internal details but for this review, this was money well spent and a television that has the rare ability to actually live up to its billing.
One last thing. The leading electronic dealership in the US will give you a song and dance about why you should never make this kind of purchase through Amazon. Be warned, it is not true. Amazon was significantly cheaper and the execution and delivery was flawless.
