Pioneer PDP-LX508A

 

The Pioneer Kuro PDP-LX508A is the undisputable class leader in black level and colour vibrancy. However, these attributes don't quite warrant the premium pricing.

Class-leading blacks and colour saturation ; Fluid motion reproduction ; Fully articulated loudspeakers ; Full 1080p24/50/60 video support ; Three HDMIs, onboard JPEG playback ; Extensive tweaking options ; Dedicated "input" buttons on remote

Fixed tabletop stand ; Pricey ; Less-than-optimized PC display resolution

This AU$7,999 Pioneer Kuro sets the bar for black levels and colour saturation among flat-panel TVs. If you have stacks of cash to spare and insist on nothing but the best in the market, the PDP-LX508A is the absolute one. However, if you're looking...

I have done my research for almost 2 years before finally deciding to purchase this glorious "Holy Grail" of display panels.

Crystal clear 1080P/24p images ; Incredibly rich detailed blacks ; Deep colour technology delivering the most delicious colour palette seen on screen ; Fluid, smooth film-like motion ; Stylish

Pricer than the rest (but justified) ; Tricky to set up on the stand or mounting bracket (may require installer)

Stop complaining about the price.. you're not obliged to buy it. If it's more than it's worth to you, get something else. Pioneer is free to put whatever price tag they want, what they get back from it is up to the market.

Great picture quality, good remote (although I use my harmony one)

Slow channel change time, IR receiver needs to be wined and dined before it will put out

Pioneer PDP-LX508A

 

When i ordered this tv i was jus moving into my new place and i started feeling a lil guilty about buying a 5.4k tv and spending less than 500 on the rest of my whitegoods....sure sounded crazy at the time, 4 months on and i dont regret one...

top 3 reasons ; incredible picture ; incredible picture ; incredible picture

noisy, tends to buzz and gets annoying at low volume ; also likes to let u know when it cools down and lets off odd crack noises, distracting when you go to bed

I've just started looking and the lowest I've been quoted is $4300. Can anyone recommend a place with a better price?
