What our customer's say!

"Try Try again", After months of reading reviews I finally decided to go for the Pioneer. I ordered mine from Amazon (through 6thAve). Enough has been said about the white glove delivery service. It is hit or miss. If you dont order through Amazon you will not get it. In other words be prepared to have it delivered to your front door and that is all. I received my TV about 2 weeks after ordering it. I asked the delivery guy to wait while I unpacked it, just to check and make sure it wasnt broken. He offered to take the packing material with him when he left. I declined (as I keep all my boxes for my AV stuff). VERY IMPORTANT! Do not let them take the box and packing material. I set my TV up taking great care to make sure everything was aligned and hooked up properly. Momment of truth and when I switched it on....nothing but a loud buzz and no picture. I of course went back to the manual and found nothing indicating anything was wrong. Called 6th Ave and they told me to contact a local pioneer repair shop. Called the pioneer repair shop and they told me to get a new TV (after explaining the situation). Had to call 6th Ave back and they were gracious enough to send me a new TV. They dropped the new TV off about 10 days later and picked the 1st one up at the same time (thus the reason for my recommendation for keeping your packing material/box).
Now about the TV...Do yourself a favor and get this TV. Even after the aforementioned issues I would still highly recommend this TV. The picture quality is second to none. The HD channels are flawless and DVD's look phenominal. Even SD channels are good. I am planning to switch from cable to DirecTV in the next month or so and am guessing the image quality will look even better. The on screen menus are pretty easy to use and hooking up your other AV equipment is relatively simple. You will not be disappointed (even after waiting a month and dealing with some frustrating phone calls)!

"Great product - worth every penny", I have just bought the Pioneer PDp-6020FD and I am very happy and would highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for a great 60" plasma hdtv.

I also have a 46" LCD and was looking to upgrade to a 55-60" size. The first decision was LCD again or Plasma. I asked many people about it and eventually decided on Plasma and I very glad I did. Colors are much truer and great for gaming too as there is no noticeable delays.

The other decision was whether to buy a Kuru or a normal plasma. If you are not sure about this I would strongly recommend the Kuru technology. The quality of the image is outstanding.

However the most difficult decision was whether to go for the standard (this one) or the more expensive PRO-151D. In the end i decided to go with the lower price option (difference in price was quite high), but I was quite concerned that the quality was not ideal. Once I plugged it in, all of the worry disappeared as I found the quality excellent and although I have no doubt the PRO series is better, I find it very difficult that it can be that much better to justify the difference in price.

Buying from Amazon was a great experience. Tv arrived in 4 days. I was contacted to organize time of delivery and installers were there in time and were most helpful in setting it up.

If you are looking for a great hdtv, I would strongly recommend the Kuro series. You will not be unhappy you paid a little more.



"Great video - but a dirty grey glove delivery", It took me a long time to select a screen, and I am very grateful to all the good folks who posted their detailed comments here - that was pure gold! We've now had the screen for a couple of weeks, and the video quality is great.

What irked me though was the quality of the delivery. Two guys brought in the box, cursing at its weight, using foul language. They told me nobody bought plazmas anymore, only LCDs. They told me some cables were missing - until my wife found them in the trash they discarded. Then they scratched the TV table. They asked if we had any brown crayons to cover up the damage.

There was nothing 'white glove' about this experience. If you are getting this sort of delivery from amazon, beware! Be alert!

"Where is the white glove delivery?", Too early to evaluate the product since it has been up and running for only two days; so far, so good. However, my concern was with the expected "white glove" delivery from Amazon that never happened. For the white glove delivery, the unit is brought into the house, unpacked, assembled, checked, and the packing material carted away. The only condition for this service is that the product is bought from Amazon. Instead we received the "standard" delivery in which the unit was only brought into the house. The day before the unit was to arrive the shipment company called and informed us that our shipment was standard as opposed to white glove. After I told them this shipment was to be white glove, they checked again and found that it was indeed standard. They also mentioned that this was not the first time they received such an query as to type of delivery, suggesting to us that Amazon does not make a clear statement about their shipping policy.

So buyer beware; Amazon is quite misleading with their conditions of shipment, and this becomes problematic when the merchandise is heavy, awkward, and fragile.

Solution: Amazon clarify their white glove policy.

"Did my research and I'm glad I did !", I wanted a large screen for my big room (52 or greater) so I looked at it two ways , I could look at buying a TV that would be sufficient/average quality and picture and save some dough or invest a few hundred more and get a top of the line TV.
I researched endless hours online and by talking to different electronic people (tweeter, Authorized TV repair shop technicians, not big box employees) and after doing extensive research the answer was pretty clear.
The pioneer won in every category picture, quality, etc. and when I started asking all of the above people every one of them had a Pioneer (Elite or 60X0) except one who had a panny.
I got my 6020 this week and the thing is awesome it blows my Samsung LCD away. The LCD even with 120 gets blurry during sports and fast action, the colors are overly bright/driven sometimes. Don't get me wrong the Samsung LCD is nice and far better than most, but it couldn't even hold a water bottle for the 6020.
If you don't want to play with settings for room brightness, color, or sound just set the TV to auto and let it go as it will out perform on its own what the best fiddler can do with any of the others.
I did look at the 800 and the 850, but after doing using the monster picture DVD (several images with random colors held for 10-15 seconds so you can few the same picture on each TV) it was pretty clear as to why the couple hundred buck investment needed to be made. The 6020 shows multiple levels of back and color shades. When they state about the blacks and the difference they make have a vendor show you a similar test. Also there is a domino test where you can see different shades of blacks as the domino picture fades away on a plasma you see them all (and on the 6020 you see more clarity than the panny) and on an LCD you see half as the LCD overshoots the blacks so bad they get saturated.

In summary I can say that I've owned the 6020 for about a week and I'm some glad I spend the extra and got the Pioneer it was WAY worth it. If your on the fence don't be as your going to have it for several years and use it more than anything else in your home so short changing yourself will only make you regret your decision. Go with the leader this year and for the past several the quality will blow you away.

"Great Product and Great Service", I Googled the 6020FD Pioneer TV for the best price and after reading terrible reviews of service and problems with some of the other "Cheaper" sites I decided to go with Amazon. The retailer was actually 6th Ave and the price included delivery to the inside of my front door only, which was ok with me since I had to do some furniture moving. To make a long story short I plugged it in and was immediately amazed at the picture quality, even before going through all the settings. After a week I became a little more curious and began to tweak the picture settings, which made this the most realistic and clear picture I have ever seen. I previously had a 50" LCD HD and although I thought that it had a good picture the 6020FD makes it look obsolete. It has the deepest blacks and the brightest picture.After I purchased this TV and while it was still on the delivery truck being delivered, I went back to Amazon and found the price had dropped by $89. I called Amazon and although they couldn't help me because I purchased it from 6th Ave. they told me to call them directly. The customer support at 6th Ave. immediately credited my account for the full $89 with no questions whatsover.Pro's: Super black backgroundFantastic brightnessRemovable speaker makes wire access easy to get toGreat Looking TVMany options for power and screen saving (Green Friendly)PC compatible with easy to access connectionsCon'sRemote hard to readHeavy 130 lbs (but thin - 3-1/2")Huge manual to read and understand, but well worth the time.

"What's the point of a 100K hrs if the product doesn't last 18 months?", I am far from the only one to have product failures with these kuros. Review [...] for customer experience with kuro failures! I purchased this set on 10/01/07 as an early adopter and dropped ~$[...]. The power supply dies on ~ 11/16/08. You would think that a company that markets to informed customers that are willing to spend for QUALITY???? would attempt to do something for an owner at 13 months (1 month after the warranty expires). Instead, I was informed the only effort they would make is to give me the closest Pioneer service center. Thanks for the $[...] repair Pioneer. This is made even more sour by the fact that Pioneer changed the power supply after their first delivery of plasmas. I guess this is what I get for being an early adopter and paying full price for their set! I will never buy another Pioneer product and recommend anyone paying a premium for their "Superior" product to choose a cheaper alternative.

"Amazon using deceitful advertising", Same as a previous poster. I bought this television on Amazon.com. I paid of this tv on Amazon.com. Amazon.com says I don't get the free white glove service because the tv was not bought from amazon.com STORE.

Just a follow up. After calling Amazon again I was told that the TV was a purchase of 6th Ave Electronics and that's what would show on my credit card. After checking my credit card statement it shows my payment being made to......Amazon.

"Pioneer Kuro 60" Plasma Review", This is quite a long story but it does have a happy ending. I purchased my first set through amazon with White Glove Delivery and when they unpacked it we found that the screen was broken ... big disappointment. Anyway we decided not to reorder straight away as we were going away on vacation and after about two weeks Amazon issued the credit back to our account ... which I thought took too long.

Eventually we reordered and this time the set came through 6thAve and here again we were told it would be White Glove. The local delivery company then called us and told us that they would only bring it into the house and not set up the TV. We explained the previous problem so they said they would unbox it so that we could check it out. Anyway, the second set was fine and we then had to get a neighbor to help us with the installation as the TV weight around 150lbs ... too heavy for the wife.

We have it now hooked up with an HTIB and a PS3 for BlueRay and we are extremely happy with the KURO. You may have read stories about the color not being the best but let me tell you that in my opinion it's perfect. Probably if you are the editor for Home Theatre magazine and like to mess around with color controls then possibly there may be an issue. I have it set on the Optimum setting with the room light sensor on - the colors are superb.

So it's been a great purchase and I would recommend the 60" Kuro to anyone considering a new big plasma ... so go buy it. I would have given Amazon five stars [but decided on four] owing to the delivery and refund issue. But overall I can't really complain about their service


"Buzzing, nothing else", I just bought a PDP-6020FD I used the one click buy deal and had issues with the bank and my card, not a problem. Problem is this is not the White Glove delevery, some fly by night company drops off set and leaves. I waited about 90 minutes to plug in and turn on, after plug in all I get is a buzzing sound and no picture, none what so ever. I bet I will have all kinds of fun repacking this 60" monster and sending it back from wence it came. Has this happened to anyone else?
