Review By Vanns

If anyone passionately believes in HDTV, it’s Pioneer. They rave about their televisions the way new parents glow over a new baby. Just listen to them talk about the world their plasmas create: “It’s a world built on uncompromising attention to detail in an extraordinary, beautiful new way. Where black levels are so black, they disappear into an infinite abyss. Where colors are so pure, they gush with their own emotions. Where emotions are built with feelings so deep. . .tears fall like lead, fear flows like wildfire and passions swell with the rising tide. It’s a world so intense, so rich, so real, it will change the way you look at TV forever.” That sounds like the enraptured ranting of Love, doesn’t it? We think you’ll feel much the same way.

Pioneer encased its Pioneer PRO-151FD KURO 1080p Plasma HDTV in a deep cell structure which means that each individual pixel in the PRO151FD’s display is encased in its own cell, with walls on all sides so that light doesn’t bleed into neighboring cells. This energy-saving design allows each pixel to deliver a more concentrated beam of light, for truer colors and brighter images.

As we mentioned above, the PRO-150FD offers a lot of advanced picture controls. The menu offers seven picture modes, including an Optimum mode that, using a light sensor on the front panel, automatically adjusts the image brightness to suit your viewing conditions. Along with five preset color-temperature options, you get a manual mode that lets you precisely adjust the white balance. The Pro Adjust menu also offers gamma control, four types of noise reduction, two color-space options (one more vivid, one more natural), and a color management system to precisely adjust the six color points.

Review By Dreamhometheater

The picture is as bright as it is beautiful, putting it on a par with LCDs for brightness. The user-selectable automatic light sensor and automatic color sensor work well to automatically adjust the picture brightness/color for different room lighting conditions.

Sound output from the (optionally) side-mounted speakers is excellent, with automatic as well as user-cusomizable settings to adjust the sound for a wide variety of tastes and environments.

Some HDTVs, such as this one, now have USB ports. These ports are typically used either to update the television’s software (firmware), or to access music and photo files from a USB flash drive. As HDTVs have become increasingly complex, so has their internal operating software, which means the update capability could be quite valuable. Likewise, it can be convenient and fun to scroll through your vacation images simply by jacking in a USB drive. The exact functions supported via the port may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer or from model to model, however, so check with the manufacturer before buying if you have a specific use in mind.
