Pioneer PDP-6020FD

In televisions there are small, medium and large. The Pioneer PDP-6020FD 60-Inch KURO Plasma HDTV qualifies as one on the large side. At 60 inches it is not something for a small bedroom or even a normal sized living room. This is designed to be set up in a good-sized room where it can really enthrall you with its awesome picture quality and you can enjoy the benefits of the monstrous screen size.

Pioneer PDP6020FD Kuro

When you add the Pioneer name and the features on this unit from the true HD picture quality of 1920 by 1080 progressive image resolution, the extremely deep blacks which give depth to the image that was previously unheard of . Slap all that together in a cosmetically slim design and you have a phenomenal unit that will make anyone drool. The Pioneer PDP-6020FD’s capability to produce a darker shade of black the most-important factor in overall picture quality.

The PDP6020FD is slim enough that it won’t be too intrusive in your room and no detail was left untouched in the overall design of this unit.

This TV is intelligent. It can analyze the room where you are and make even the smallest changes in settings to both the picture and the sound so that what you see and hear is always the optimum. If the room light gets darker or brighter, the image will adjust accordingly. If the ambient noise level in the room changes, the Pioneer will optimize the sound accordingly. Sports come alive, news casts are crisp and clear and movies take on a life all their own. And yes, if you feel uncomfortable letting a machine make all those decisions for you, you can certainly grab up the multifunction remote and change away to your hearts content. An excellent selection of 6 aspect ratio modes is available for HD sources and 5 for standard definition, along with an Auto feature that attempts to set the correct aspect ratio for you.

The KURO technology that is used in this set is more technical than most people care to read about. The picture is pristine and almost better than the original, the sound is full and breathtaking and you will be amazed every time you turn the unit on.

Pioneer added its Home Media Gallery to the TV, which lets it interface with a USB thumbdrive or your home network via an Ethernet port to view photos, or play music and video files on the TV. Other features include picture-in-picture, and a variety of options to prevent potential burn-in, including a pixel orbiter, a scrolling white bar to wipe out retained images, and a mode that “simultaneously optimizes the related settings to alleviate image retention.”

Connectivity for this expensive TV is more than adequate for even the most avid videophile cum gamer. There are 4 independent HDMI ports to allow you to expand your system as your needs grow and still stay entirely in HD format so you never have to compromise quality. There is also the usual S-Video and such inputs as well as USB for hooking in the family camcorder or flash drive, a LAN so you can network it and standard PC inputs as well. And there are outputs for every possible thing you might consider hooking to it. Deep-pocketed videophiles who prize the absolute blackest black will find plenty of reasons to spend the extra money for that out of the world visual experience.

• “After ordering this product from Amazon I braced myself for the “white glove nightmare” described by others. Either I was lucky or changes have been made in “glovedom”, because the delivery (to San Francisco) by CEVA was professional and flawless. CEVA contacted me by phone and I asked if they would have a two-person crew for the delivery. They arrived on time, unpacked the unit with care, assembled the speaker and stand, carefully set it on my furniture, turned it on to insure it was working, and then carted away the packing. Everything was done right and they seemed unhurried and eager to please. It was a totally positive experience. Oh yes, as everyone else has reported, the PDP-6020 is one amazing product. Even after three weeks, the picture still seems jaw-droppingly, grin-inducingly wonderful.” – RWL (CA, USA)

• “I don’t know what I can add about this TV that hasn’t already been said. The picture is so much better than any other set I’ve seen and the cosmetics of it are superb as well. As for Amazon customer support etc: I really like the way they have a separate concierge department for these high-ticket items. The crew that delivered the set were very professional, courteous and careful.” – R.Kloentrup (Kansas,USA)

• “I can’t begin to explain how impressed I am with the Pioneer PDP 6020FD. I have purchased Pioneer components before and this is the first Pioneer TV that I purchased. The colors are amazing, the it is easy to operate. The white glove service I got with the item, was amazing. They brought the TV, set up, made sure everything worked, and went on their way. I’m sure I could have done this myself, but it was good to have someone who knew what they were doing. I would recommend this TV to anyone as a first time Plasma buyer or looking to upgrade. I upgraded from a 50 in Mitsubishi Plasma to the Pioneer 60in. I liked my Mitsubishi, but it did not offer all the features this Pioneer TV has now. Highly recommend Pioneer Kuro, you will not regret this.” – A.McAllister (KY, USA)
