Pioneer KURO PDP-5010FD 50" 1080p Plasma HDTV opinions please - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

I just got mine from a Ebay Store. There is 1 left. It came Fedex to my Door. When it came I gave it time to let all of the condensation go away. It is up and running. It is a 1080p. Boy is it nice! Really worth the wait. It came with the Warrenty. Also can buy a maintance agreement if wanted. I am going to wait to see how it does. So far it is everything they say it is. My Brother has 2 of them. His are great. My Blu-ray and High Def. are looking good with it. What a Picture!!! I looked around a lot befor buying. Pioneer has a nice site to look at the KURO. I love the KURO! It is really worth buying.

I'm anxiously awaiting delivery of a 5010FD, which should arrive in the next 3-4 days. (Would have loved to have gotten the 110FD (the Elite version) but I couldn't justify the extra $1000 in price.) I ordered mine from Invision Displays at a great price. They are an authorized Pioneer internet reseller, which means you will be covered by Pioneer's own warranty. Pioneer actually makes a big deal about buying their products from authorized dealers, and they provide of list of them on their website--check it out before you buy!

If you're going to put in a room with windows or lights that will be on in front of the tv I would go with the lcd. Other than that you would really be splitting hairs comparing these sets.

Grisle · 12-03-2007, 06:08 AM

Well we do live in a small place right now and the room does have windows and lights. I really wanted to go with the 5010, but I'm starting to think that I should go with the 40XBR4 because the place is so small. If I get the 40 now I think I can have Sonystyle price match Abe's of Maine for $1999 and get the 5 year warranty for $249. Then when we move into someplace bigger this will be my 2nd TV and I can upgrade to the biggest and the best then. I'm really starting to like this plan. What do you guys think...I'm thinking 40XBR4 for the present and a Pioneer KURO or Elite for the future. I might even be able to do a 60" later on.

Lol who voted for the XBR, I swear some people here are hell bent on giving bad advice. We all know the elite is better you silly fanbois.

DEFINITELY GET THE PIONEER! I just got a new Pioneer setup (which includes the 5010FD) and it's sweet! Even when I'm watching regular TV I find myself sitting in front of the screen with this stupid looking grin

on my face! Put on a BD (or HDTV) and I start to giggle uncontrollably.........my wife has threatened to call the local funny farm on me.

Anyone that can PM me their best price they got or found from an authorized dealer. The best I have seen is Plasma Concepts $3500 (authorized dealer).

Russell_L · 12-04-2007, 08:22 PM

Give Roman at Invision Displays a call. His number is 1-800-420-5710. I got a great price from him (including shipping). Terrific service as well. (Mine's coming tomorrow.

) He's very well respected on the AVS Forum (where his company is a sponsor).
