Detail, depth, quality of resolutionare superb. This Plasma is one of the greats. It makes you wonder why everyone is jumping on the LCD wagon.Honestly, LCDs have very nice pictures in the upper end models, however,I do not see LCDs being close to the smoothness, depth, and just plaindelivery that this plasma can put out.and Pioneer is the paradigmof this technology.
Yes, there are a couple more bells and whistles on the Elite, but this is one amazing tv. It does give off some heat so be prepared for that. Have only had this Kuro plasma for a week, but sure enjoying the World Series & all the HD channels.We don't have a BlueRay yet but that's coming soon.If you can't decide between this and the Elite, and if money is no object, go for the Elite BUT if you are over 50, like us, save your money and just get this one as older eyes can hardly detect any difference in picture quality. You will need a special cable wire and a surge protector, so expect to add another $150 for those.Go for it and you'll feel rewarded each time you turn it on.
I've found in life if you treat people nicely with respect, often times you'll receive better service. I would recommend checking to see if White Glove Delivery has been selected.Secondly, the two guys who delivered my set were excellent unlike some other reviews I've read here. Am so glad I didn't as they would have been throwing away the Pioneer speaker enclosure for the set. The old adage of attracting more flies with honey as opposed to vinegar. The colors are vivid and the images literally jump off the screen. The color saturation on these animated shows is not to be believed. I can not add to the superlatives mentioned in the other reviews with regard to the Pioneer Kuro.
Punch up one of the kids channels available in high def like Disney or The Cartoon Network. I asked them to verify the White Glove Service and they did NOT show that in their files. Don't make this same mistake.I'm now in the market for another plasma that will be placed in our game room. A quick call to Amazon fixed everything, no problem. The initial delay was due to DirecTVs 4 week waiting list to hook up their HR22 high definition DVR to this amazing Pioneer Kuro set.Since I was forced to watch standard def images on the 6020FD for almost a month, you can guess the difference a high definition picture made.
I hooked my 6020FD to some speakers that I installed in the wall and almost let the delivery guys take the box away as they were leaving. The problem I had was with CEVA when they called to schedule delivery. They brought the set in, removed it from the box, placed it on the table where I wanted it, and powered it up (even though I had read the online Pioneer manual weeks ago). All I did was offer them a few sodas for their trouble.One final thing to remember is that the speakers are packed below the set. First, working with Amazon was a joy with regard to this order. I bought this set from Amazon over two months ago and have waited until now to add my review.
Even my kids are impressed by the set.Here are a few caveats for the White Glove Delivery as I too, had a few issues. I didn't understand all the talk about the color "black" and how it's different from plasma to plasma but I do now. Want to really be blown away by this new tv. Shall be ordering from Amazon again without a doubt.
The TV was delivered right to our living room.and it is beautiful. I told my husband that I feel like we are sitting in the front row of our local movie theatre. The picture is so clear.and beautiful. My husband bought this 60inch plasma TV for himself for his retirement present. We figure we will be spending the winter watching TV, so why not watch it on the best. The "high definition" is exceptional.so glad we "splurged" for this retirement gift.
It's a good thing the White Glove service didn't cost anything or I would be asking for a refund. After reading the manual, I figured how to turn it on and he had me do it so if something went wrong it would be my fault and not his. The delivery time was excellent. The TV itself is perfect in every respect. He helped me put the TV on the cabinet but would not connect it.
After I connected it and got a picture on it, he picked up the packaging and took it away. The delivery person knew nothing about the TV. Amazon was very easy to work with. He didn't even know how to turn it on. I would recommend it to anyone.
the only negative comment would be about the White Glove service. Purchasing anything through amazon is great.
