Pioneer Elite PRO-1130HD is one of the top 50 inch plasma that have entered the market. It performs superbly well not only in displaying high definition signals but are also excellent in it’s analog tv broadcast, something most plasma failed terribly to do.

It’s relatively expensive but those who want to bring out the best in their viewing experience, this Pioneer Elite PRO-1130HD is a great choice. Put simply, it’s a Ferrari of plasma tv.

It’s color detailing, contrast, scaling and de-interlacing is second to none. Even out of the box the color are realistic and accurate.

There are 5 types of aspect ratio that you can choose from, 4:3, full, zoom, cinema and wide. Except zoom, all the aspect ratio managed to keep the display remains realistic.

When it comes to connectivity, Pioneer has a component-style media receiver — all your home-theater equipment connects to the box, so only one cable leads to the display itself. It’s a pretty neat solution to messy wires problem that plague most tv today.

The Pioneer has 3 built-in tuners (two analog and one digital). It also has 2 digital HDMI inputs and an input for a PC. Apart from that you’ll also get a CableCard slot, eliminating your need for cable box and a Memory slot for to show off those special pictures you’ve taken.
