    The Pioneer KURO PDP-LX5090 is a television that makes you want more: it makes you want to get the best from your home cinema set-up and deservedly so. It distinctly has a purpose, and settling down to watch a movie in front of the screen is a great experience; gaming too is an absolute blast in high definition. But it is not without faults, rectifiable and superficial they may be, and the argument is that the core, the display, is the best quality around. Our only major... Read more

    Bought the Pioneer PDP-LX5090 in December 2008 after many years wanting to upgrade to a plasma from our 28" Bang & Olufsen TV. Managed to get the TV on a special offer that was for one weekend only from an online retailer that was posted all over the net in December and the offer was too good to be missed. Picked up the TV with the PDK-TS33A stand and PDP-S63 undermount speakers for £1795. Today the price is £2249!!! So you can understand why so many, including myself,... Read more
