Product Rating: 4 star(s) Pioneer PDP-5000EX

Comments:
When Pioneer introduces its first UK plasma with a full HD' native resolution the viewing public should sit up and look. Quality at a price tends to be the theme with this company's plasma TVs so the arrival of a 1920 x 1080 screen whets the appetit...

Review Verdict: It costs a whole lot of money, but you get the best 50-inch plasma performance for it

Comments:
Pioneer has produced the first 50in 1080p plasma screen, and it's a cracker!

Review Verdict: Provided you're extra careful to avoid screenburn, especially during the first 100 hours of the screen's life, and provided you can afford it, you can snap up a PDP-5000EX safe in the knowledge that it delivers simply the finest 50in pictures we've yet se

Comments:
Pioneer, the plasma display specialist, has made the market's first 50-inch plasma display with full 1920 x 1080 progressive resolution, with pixels so small that they are almost invisible. A conservatively rated contrast ratio of 3000:1 gives unsurpassed

It slides out of the box looking pretty slinky, with a robust looking chassis too

Pioneer PDP-5000EX - Gadget Guy Australia

Comments:
While there have been several true high definition (1920 by 1080 pixel) LCD TVs hit the market, and many more are on their way, true high definition plasma displays simply haven't been available until now

Product Rating: 5 star(s) Pioneer PDP-5000EX

Comments:
An older TV, but in its day one of the best picture performances we'd ever seen

Review Verdict: But screen resolution isn't the only factor with this set. Unlike other screens that are HD ready, the Pioneer doesn't solely rely on HD material. Instead it relays TV signals and other standard-def sources with an even hand. It's really difficult to expl
