    This huge Pioneer plasma might suffer some quirks in its operation and picture presets, but it easily won our affections; we can’t help but be impressed by its top feature-set, excellent video processing, dreamlike picture quality, and maximum contrast ratio of 9,400:1! At the time of this TV’s release, that was the highest contrast ratio we’d ever measured — since then, however, the successor Pioneer KRP-500 has managed to beat it. Read more

    • Extremely deep blacks., Low-judder HDTV video at 60i and 24p., Built-in HD tuner., USB and LAN connections for multimedia.
    • Slight weaknesses in operation., Grey bars instead of black on 4:3 pictures., Limited brightness in daylight.

    This is an expensive TV that's double the price of what’s on offer from some manufacturers, but is it worth it? Its plain styling is neat enough and unlikely to offend when the screen is switched off, but its stunning image quality is what justifies the price tag. The strong contrast and bright colours are strikingly good, making even the most ordinary content look great. Read more

    There's also a side-mounted USB 2.0 port. If you have JPEG images stored on an USB memory stick, digital camera or fl ash card (via a memory card reader) they can be displayed in full using the natty on-screen menus. Unfortunately, only JPEG files can be read; it would've been great if there were video codec encoders inside the panel to play DivX or XviD, but as they're generally rendered at low bitrates and resolutions, maybe a 60in Full HD TV isn't the best way to view...

    If you've got the money, don't think twice -- this TV is as good as it gets and you won't regret buying one for even a second. The only problem is that it'll cost you another fortune in Blu-ray discs and HD TV subscriptions Read more

    Pioneer and Panasonic makes very good plasma TV. However, still loses to the LCD TV because of the unsolved "burn in" problem. When pausing the video or watching still images during video games the plasma TV is more likely to have the "burn in problem compared to the LCD TV. I recommend you check out http://www.squidoo.com/best-hdtv for more information on what is best HDTV to get this year. Read more

    • Great picture qulity and high contrast ratio to display dark scenes
    • The screen glare when the the sunglight hit the screen, subject to "burn in" when watching still images
