Pioneer KRP-500

 

Outstanding picture quality with spellbinding contrast; Vivid imagery, thanks to the purest black to date; Super-sleek, attractive design; Separate box for connections; Well-adjusted picture, right out of the box; Built-in HDTV receiver

Some awkward operation; A bit noisy when running; High power consumption; Pesky gray side-bars in 4:3 format; Stand and speakers cost extra

I've owned this set now for about 8 months, and I've loved every second of it. I'm not real big on reviews so I thought maybe I'd hash out my Pros vs Cons list.

Excellent colors, inky blacks, and one of the most highly regarded HDTVs to hit the market

My set has a buzzing sound. This is also a monitor so there aren't any built in speakers or a digital tuner included. It is bare bones

Get one while you still can!

I will be moving in 7 months and I wanted a new plasma for the new house. I purchased a Pioneer 50" 4 years ago for $5000. I just happened to be searching for reviews of plasma tv's when I saw that Pioneer was done making them. I saw that the 500m...
