Pioneer KURO PDP-508XDA

Flawless image quality across all modes, excellent speakers, integrated HDTV tuner, attractive design
High price tag
The Pioneer KURO PDP-508XDA is easily the best plasma television we have reviewed thus far. Even though it is a little more expensive than other 50in plasmas on the market, it is money well spent.

Breathtaking blacks from a magnificent plasma

Pioneer PDP-508XD review
Pioneer's ‘mid-price' 50in plasma is more expensive than many same-sized rivals – but far better, too
Not the best 50in Pioneer, but still better than every other 50in on the planet. If you can’t manage the top-end Pioneer, this is the set to go for

Pioneer PDP-508XDA Review - Plasma TVs
pioneer pdp-508xda review: The Pioneer PDP-508XDA is without a doubt one of the best televisions ever released, with excellent black levels and oodles of detail.
Prodigious black levels, Eye-popping pictures, Up-to-date features
Some minor flyscreen effects, Tuner images a little soft, You have to pay for one -- they don't give them out for free

If anyone still pines for the "superior pictures" of tube television after seeing one of these babies, then something is very wrong.

Pioneer PDP-508XDA
An older model, and not the best 50in Pioneer, but still better than every other 50in on the planet in its day. If you can't manage the top-end Pioneer, this is the set to go for

Pioneer PDP-508XD Kuro Plasma TV
The actual 50Â" model is a beautiful looking screen with its polished back surroundings, neat (optional) speakers below and a presence that shouts quality before the power switch is even turned on. Looking directly at the screen, on the left hand side...
Excellent

Pioneer PDP-508XD
These technologies include unusually deep-set plasma chambers to reduce inter-pixel light and colour spillage; processing designed to work differently during light and dark footage; a proprietary crystal emissive layer in the panel that hugely...
The best picture quality we've seen from a flat TV, beautifully built, features and connections galore
You have to pay for the quality, and it's not the easiest TV to set up
