What our customer's say!

"Beware of Service Problems", Great TV, but you need to be aware of an issue with getting service on this TV. If had the TV hung on a wall, you must have the TV down for the service to happen. I This is a pretty whopping sized box (technical term) and it takes two people to take it down.

"Beautiful picture, lousy company", Outstanding color rendition, deep blacks, perfect clarity, remote is a bit cluttered/confusing, price is very high. Workmanship on my unit was not good, there was no product support. Authorized repair shops poo-poo fixing without warranty coverage. Flawless performance for literally 52 weeks. Scan boards (2x), Drive boards (2x) and power supply burnout resulting in catastrophic failure $1500 and 60 days without TV. Pioneer refused any warranty authorization. Tip: Buy it w/Amex and cross your fingers tightly. It's a great plasma...... when it's working. $$$$$

"Unbelievable picture", I normally write rather long, detailed reviews of electronics, but in this case, I'll be brief. As of October 2008, you will NOT find a better picture on any LCD or Plasma TV anywhere. "But what about that Samsung I saw at Best Buy?" -- This is better. "But what about that Sony I saw at Circuit City?" -- This is better. The blacks are solid. The reds pop off the screen like you won't believe. Buy this TV, don't look back, and you'll be as happy as you can be. I can't imagine that any 1080p TV will ever look significantly better than this.

As for mounts, if you want an articulated mount, the TV is balanced in such a way that a slightly over-engineered mount is a good investment to keep it stable. The Peerless PLAV70 with the PLP-NEC61 adapter plate is perfect. The SA760P mount is also great if you don't need to extend the TV as far but you want top-notch cable management. It also needs the PLP-NEC61 adapter plate.

"Best TV I have ever owned", I have owned this TV for almost a year now. I have yet to see something better. Expensive, but worth every penny. No regrets.

"Just looking for a good television", I admit I am not an expert in this area. Nor was I looking for all the toys/gadgets that let you do anything and everything with your television. Just someone who wanted a great television for his family. After the research, settled on the Pioneer PDP-6010FD . I have not been disappointed. The picture is excellent, the internal settings and options are easy to follow and it simply looks great. The external light sensor that changes the picture depending on the light in the room is an unexpected bonus that really makes a difference.

The downside is you really need someone/a team to hang this for you (we put ours above our fireplace). The remote is a little intimidating, a bit hard to get used to but that is a minor annoyance.

Overall, the reviews about how good a television this is are simply correct. Other reviews can tell you about all the internal details but for this review, this was money well spent and a television that has the rare ability to actually live up to its billing.

One last thing. The leading electronic dealership in the US will give you a song and dance about why you should never make this kind of purchase through Amazon. Be warned, it is not true. Amazon was significantly cheaper and the execution and delivery was flawless.

"Black is Black!", In doing my search for the best HDTV on the market, everything pointed to two TVs the Samsung LCDs that are LED backlit vs. the Kuro. Now the Kuro you could get the Elite version but I really didn't need the additional color controls for a the price differential. Now back to plasma (Kuro) vs. LCD (Samsung). I have been waiting for an LED backlit LCD 1080P television to be produced and Samsung was the first to build it in a 60inch size. From all the reviews, it is a remarkable tv. However, plasma sets have the best contrast in real world tests but until recently did not deliver a 1080P picture. But the Kuro version is now 1080P. Decisions, decisions... When I saw the Kuro and that beautiful black, I was sold. Why does black matter? Black is what provides the contrast that gives you true colors and three dimensional-like pictures. I will admit that it took me a while to get used to seeing such a picture. It is like nothing I have seen before or since. For example, sitting in a dark room watching the credits in a movie scroll by, all you see is the clean text. You can't tell where the screen ends, the texts looks like it is floating by. Crazy. This is hands down the best HDTV that I have ever seen.

"Pioneer 6010, one word: FANTASTIC", I purchased this Pioneer 6010 directly from Amazon about 3 weeks ago. It was delivered with their white glove service. The TV arrived early and in perfect condition. A paranoid shopper like me can highly recommend doing business with Amazon, I have never had a problem with them. Now, for the TV, I have only been able to view it for a few days because it has taken me a while to set up with my cabinate modifications and waiting for other components to arrive. I am using a Pioneer BDP-95FD Blu-ray player that just came in a few days ago. The high definition picture coming from this combination is simply "fantastic". So far I have watched cable HD programming and Blu-rays: "Pirates of the Caribbean, At World's End", "I Am Legend", and "Blade Runner". Very nice, and everything has gone together perfectly and works in harmony. High Definition and Standard Definintion are both very impressive on this set. I am very happy with this purchase and the price I got over the internet was great. I am using a Krell sound system and Carver Amazing Platimum (old but good)speakers on the front end, Infinity Interlude speakers for all surround and center, Velodyne 15 inch subwoofer. The entire package is pretty thrilling. Just for fun I put some "On Demand" childrens shows on for my three year old daughter to watch (Jack's Big Music Show). She was smiling ear to ear. Technically speaking as far as picture quality, I don't think you can get any better than this from what I have seen from all of the competing models in plasma and LCD. It is a little bit more expensive but I think it's worth the investment. From all of my research and the decisions made I would not have chosen anything different.

"Best Picture but bad warranty service", I rated the 60" Kuros strictly on the quality of the picture. I purchased a PDP-6010 FD Kuro and a PDP-5010 FD Kuro. The quality of the picture is incredible. However, My PDP-6010 FD failed after only 9 weeks of use. Service technicians have been working on it since Mar 22, 2008 and today is Apr 4, 2008 and they still haven't fixed it. I think they are slowly rebuilding the set in my den. I had to remove the Plasma (at some expense) from my wall before the technicians would do warranty work. Beware of Pioneer warranty service. I am still trying to get my Plasma fixed. And then I will have to pay someone to put it back on the wall.

"Just buy it!", The delivery was flawless and timely. The picture is the best in the industry in my humble opinion. Very long owner's manual is available online at Pioneer's site and reading it ahead of time helped. STRONGLY recommend a professional install and a massive bracket if it's going on the wall. Price at Amazon (as usual) was 25% less than at Best Buy and with free shipping it's a no-brainer.

"It is everything you heard", I waited 2 years for this TV. I was going to get the 50" 720p but the price wouldn't drop below 1999.99. I decided to go with the Panasonic viera instead. Right after I received and hooked up my Panny, the 60" 1080 dropped in price. Much more expensive than I really wanted to spend ($4200 at Amazon with free white glove delivery) but I did it anyway. Wow! Glad I did. Beautiful image, beautiful TV even when off, TV guide- (for those of us who don't have or want cable)Image is perfect. Auto adjusts the aspect also! I use a DB2 antenna in my basement and picture is perfect and FREE!!!!! Most HD channels are in the evening! I feel like I am in the audience watching American Idol! Really!

For those who don't or can't pony up $4000 + (I charged it). I highly recommend the Panasonic Plasma TH PX75U series. Save yourself about $3000 dollars. The image is amazingly close to the Kuro even at only 720p. Really it is that good! I have the 50". and my parents have the 42! Awesome picture!

Enjoy your TV!!!!!!!
