Pioneer PDP-506HD

 

Pioneer has bet all its marbles on plasma technology and it seems to be paying off. Its 6th generation plasma TVs turn in an impressive picture quality that produces purer colours across the spectrum.

Able to reproduce deep blacks ; Solid feature package ; Sleek, glossy-black finish ; Excellent connectivity, including two inputs for HDMI and three for component video

Less than perfect colour decoding with red push ; Minor visible low-level noise in dark material ; Limited to four concurrent inputs, including front panel

HD content looked exceptional. The PDP-506HD did pass all the resolution in a 720p multiburst pattern at the HDMI input but cut off a small amount of the horizontal resolution on the component input.

Pioneer PDP-506HD

 

Fantastic TV, best I have seen. I have a video production background and am very impressed with this panel. I have set up systems for my friends and have found the other brands (Samsung, LG, Panasonic) do even come near the quality of this panel.

Everything

Noisy buzz, more noticable when volume is low

I actually had a problem with the HDMI connector in that the picture would intermitently drop out. Went back to component video and honestly cant tell the difference in quality

Almost perfect

Too many to mention

Only 1 HDMI input. I'm trying to connect a HDMI DVD recorder and HDMI HD set top box but there is only one input! Now I have to spend $425 on a HDMI switcher or buy a $2000 Amp
