Pioneer Kuro PDP-5080 HD Short Review !

January 5th, 2008

The good: This 50-inch plasma TV displays an exceedingly deep shade of black with excellent shadow detail; clean image with little noise; “smooth” video-processing mode removes most judder; excellent antireflective screen; sleek, minimalist styling; removable speaker; superb connectivity with four HDMI inputs and one PC input; CableCard compatible with TV Guide EPG.

The bad: Expensive; inaccurate primary color of green; no user-menu fine color temperature controls.

The bottom line: The Pioneer PDP-5080HD produces the deepest shade of black–and thus one of the best pictures–we’ve ever tested.

Specs: Product type: Plasma TV; Diagonal size: 50 in; Resolution: 1365 x 768
