Great while it worked

After the break in period, no image retention or burn in even if I watched ESPN and play video games all day."

"“This 60-inch 1080p Pioneer is among the best plasma sets available, with top-notch picture quality and the deepest blacks we've ever seen from a plasma or LCD TV. Although pricey, it delivers an extremely high level of performance to those who are willing to pay for it.” To quote Consumer Reports….what more can I say, other than buy it from Abes of course. This is the best on the market today…and 2008 is the last year they make their own plasma screen. So you might wish to buy now to ensure getting the higher quality screen! Remote is a little awkward, but no big deal to me."

"I am going to wall mount this unit. I have not doen so yet. It was purchase to replace another Pioneer unit, a two piece Elite system with proprietary cables that make wall mounting difficult. I am very impressed with the new set. Pioneer plasmas, including this one, are in my opinion the best tv's available. I am the type to prefer just a monitor but you get a lot of bells and whistles these days that you needlessly pay for. I think this unit is a good compromise between an Elite with a lot of features you may never use and the high quality of a Pioneer plasma. I have not done any set up, either myself or professionally (no time) so I am running the factor default settings. BluRay and standard DVD's on a BluRay machine are stunning. I got DirectTV about the same time I purchased this unit and the picture is in my opinion a little faded but it is not due to the set, but rather DirectTV in my opinion. This is based on my DVD/BluRay viewing experience. I would by this tv again, and in fact I am going to do that for another room in the house. Note: when setting up there is a master power switch that must be engaged. My other Pioneer did not have this. When I un crated it and got it all set up I could not figure out why it would not power up. There I was, I thought, starring at a dud that somehow I needed to get back into the crate! Finally figured it out.
Very highly recommended."

"I set it up in our living room. It's connected to a pre-amp with an HDMI 1.3b cable, and I use the pre-amp to switch an HD Dish receiver and a PS3. When playing blu-ray movies with the PS3, this TV clearly reveals the quality of the video transfer. The quality difference between something like Cars on blu-ray and an HD satellite broadcast is dramatic. With the best source material, this TV is stunning, straight out of the box. The black letterbox bars on widescreen movies look nearly as black as the glossy piano black frame. Colors are incredibly vibrant and saturated without losing detail. I can't imagine a better picture. I looked at the Elite version in a retail store, and went with this non-Elite model. I also looked at many LCDs and other plasmas before choosing this set, and I think the Pioneers are far above the competition, and that there is only a slight difference between the Elite and non-Elite models. It has many inputs and other features, but I imagine most people will use it as a monitor, and handle all switching though a receiver or pre-amp. I does have the ability to play streamed media across a network, but I haven't used that feature. I can't think of any negatives other than the cost. You get what you pay for. Highly recommended."
