Its in a different league Feb 01, 2010
I dont think it does justice to this or other Plasma / LCD TVs to compare Pioneer Kuro with them. They are in two different leagues. No one cam come even close to this except Pioneer Kuro Elite..which loses out on price.

 DO NOT BUY THIS TV Jan 30, 2010
The Pioneer plasma TV engine is the best in the industry. But they stopped making TVs (they license the technology) over a year ago. Prices actually went up as the last units were sold. I was looking for the last model year 5020, and when I searched Amazon this 5010 came up mixed in with 5020s. I did not notice the difference, and bought this prior-year model instead by mistake. It is fine for when it was made, but lacks many of the features, plus an inferior black level, compared to the 5020. So don't buy this one, buy the 5020 if you can find any left.

Grab one while you still can! Dec 06, 2009
As other reviewers have already stated with plenty of supporting information, the picture quality of this set is fantastic, even if you're watching an SD broadcast, and the sound from the detachable speaker bar is good enough to let you forgo, or at least put off, investing in a surround-sound system. What you may not know is that you can currently buy a PDP-5010fd from the Sam's Club auction website for around 1.2K, (which the guy I bought mine RIGHT HERE ON AMAZON did immediately after he got my 2 grand), so factor that in to your buying decision.
If you are unlucky, you may get one with an annoying buzz of varying intensity that emanates from the back of the panel. My set is blissfully silent, but many plasma panels are not. If you get one with a more serious issue, and live near an authorized Pioneer warranty service provider, just have it repaired - that's a lot cheaper than trying to ship one of these back at your own expense. Pioneer isn't making these anymore, but they'll still stand behind them for the 1-year warranty period.
I now own both a 60-inch Pioneer Plasma, and this 50-inch, and love both of them. If cost isn't your primary concern, buy the PDP-6020FD instead; the picture quality of that one will bring tears of joy to your eyes. In any case, I'd rather buy the slightly over-the-hill Pioneer Kuro than a "cutting-edge" set from another maker any day. They ARE that good.

Fantastic! Nov 26, 2009
Had to throw my two cents in - I have owned this TV for over a year, and even now in stores I see NOTHING that bests it as far as picture quality, and most don't even come close, especially with black levels. I watch mostly movies, SD is good, HD is great, and Blu-Ray is absolutely amazing! Can't comment on the detachable speakers as I never used them, but I've heard their sound is better than average. If you do purchase this set, my advice is to go to a few online forums to find the optimum viewing settings for movies, etc - these settings are surprisingly easy to find and use. As to the reported "buzz" that some reviewers have noted, I have never heard it. It does put off a fair amount of heat from the top of the set, so as it says in the instructions you want to leave a good amount of space above the set. As far as durability, after a year it is still performing flawlessly, with no "burn-in" or any other problems. Pioneer has contacted me a couple of times with firmware updates which were also very easy and painless to install. Bought it online, saved a bundle, and the delivery was fast and efficient. In short, I did weeks of research before making this purchase, and haven't regretted it for a minute. Kudos, Kuro!

Pioneer PDP-5010FD 50 Inch Plasma Oct 27, 2009
I went back and forth for at least a year, plasma or LCD. Unless you have a particularly bright room plasma takes the prize. I've had this pioneer about 3 months. My buddy bought a 50" Sony LCD about the same time. We've watched football on both TVs. There is really no comparison for clarilty of picture, depth of black and smoothness of motion. The plasma is like looking through a window. Drawbacks? Price, maybe and it does give off quite a bit of heat.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
