Pioneer has made a name in the plasma high definition televisions, and is close to the heels of Panasonic, in terms of sales in the U.S. plasma.
Technological Advancement
Pioneer claim to fame is due to the introduction of the first plasma TV 50 "with resolution 1080p. The company achieved this reduced the pixel size of 50% in order to facilitate assembly and more than 2 million pixels on the screen. This reduction the size of the pixels can sweat in the face of a footballer, or stitches in a football game become clearer.
This group is called Pioneer Elite PRO-FHD1 (FHD = Full High Definition). But the lack of 1080p via satellite or terrestrial broadcasts, the technology is ahead of its time. Except for the juke-box Blu-Ray Disc and the state of the art HD-DVD-equipped with the latest specification HDMI, 1080p is sadly absent.
Reputation deserved
In addition, Pioneer is universally appreciated for its excellent image quality rivaling that of Panasonic. Its ease of use and features have also been cited for Pioneer HDTV.
For example, the Pioneer PDP-5080HD is a popular model and has been hailed by a deep black tone with good detail in shadows. His image is clean and the noise is virtually nonexistent, is relatively free with a shimmy and treatment effective. His features include an anti-reflective screen, style, fashion detachable speakers, great connectivity provided by four HDMI inputs and a PC input. It is also compatible with the card and comes with cable TV Guide EPG.
According to Consumer Reports, the rate of repair of televisions Pioneer High Definition is low.
The price factor
If you wonder why Pioneer has not been able to breach in the position in the hierarchy Panasonic plasma do not look beyond its price. Pioneer TVs are among the most expensive.
Other shadows
Although some of its image quality at fault, the Pioneer PDP-5080 HD displays an inaccurate green primary. In addition, the user no fine menu command the color temperature. And not everyone is happy with the piano gloss finish plastic.
The Shadow detail the Pioneer PDP-428XD suffers contrast with their black levels.
The Pioneer PDP-5080XD 50 "Plasma TV for labeling inputs, but it functions as a TV guide of little use.
The internal fan in the Pioneer PDP-4270HD 42 "Plasma TV has a noticeable buzz, but it is less shocking when you turn up the volume. In addition, this set only has a resolution of 1080i. This game is a little warm, but it is a characteristic of most plasmas.
Plasma Pioneer PRO-FHD1 50 inches, it is expensive and lacks a high definition tuner and speakers. This package includes a free stand.

The Bottom Line
If you are among those who do not mind paying a high price for quality, Pioneer select the appropriate model for your needs. But make sure you buy from an authorized source, like Amazon, if you want to use the warranty for repairs, which can not remain valid if you purchase from an unauthorized source.
