Best Plasma for under $5000?? - Blu-ray Forum

Naka · 07-29-2008, 05:22 AM

Ok I have a 5k budget and would like to get the biggest and best plasma that I can afford for under 5k. What are some suggestions? How is the Pioneer Kuro Elite series? I want something 1080p obviously with as many HDMI ports as possible.

I'm looking at getting the Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO-111FD. Anyone with positive or negative comments about this TV? Other than the price! LOL

Sonny · 07-29-2008, 06:02 PM

I'd go with a pio or panny 800/850u 50" 58" 65" 1080p 24fps 30,000 native contrast, you can't go wrong with either of those.

ruvic · 07-29-2008, 06:10 PM

+1 for the Pioneer Kuro.

bkbluray · 07-29-2008, 06:31 PM

Pioneer all the way.

teemacone · 07-29-2008, 07:14 PM

Dare to be different...take a peek at the LG 60PG60. Great picture, loaded with features, and under 4k.

Naka · 07-29-2008, 11:02 PM

Should I get the Pioneer or go for the Panny with a receiver and some speakers.

If you need a sound system, I think would be a fair trade off instead of the Pioneer. The Panny still has a great picture.

xAyoFoolx · 07-29-2008, 11:15 PM

yup the panny will be good if you need a sound sytem too.

Mensrea69 · 07-30-2008, 02:53 AM

What about Samsung?

You mean you went with the new Panny, cuz that's what they chose over the Kuro's.

theprophecy247 · 07-30-2008, 09:45 PM

i mean the pq is uncomparbale for the pioneer compared to any other tv but ur second choice plasma would and should be a panny

Naka · 07-31-2008, 06:35 AM

Ok I think I'm sold on the Pioneer Elite Kuro 50" but the Best Buy locally here doesn't have them in stock and no one else on the island has them. I live in Hawaii by the way. Anyway, Best Buy told me it would take 3 weeks to get one here!

Does anyone know of a reputable dealer that I can order one from that will ship to Hawaii quickly and for a good price? I can't be without a TV for 3 weeks! I'm kinda leary of all the so called Internet shops that advertise the Kuro for really cheap.
