Pioneer's PRO-FHD1 isn't for everyone.
As the first 50-inch plasma display to have a native resolution of 1080p--in other words, 1,920x1,080 pixels--it understandably costs a mint ($8,000 list). As a monitor, as opposed to a "true" TV, it lacks niceties such as built-in speakers, a tuner (ATSC or otherwise), or even an included stand. And as a member of Pioneer's "Elite" subbrand, it includes picture-centric features, such as user-menu color temperature and primary color adjustments, which most users won't know what to do with.
But if you're willing to pay top dollar for the best 50-inch plasma on the market right now, look no further. Compared to the Panasonic TH-50PF9UK, the other current 50-inch 1080p plasma, the Pioneer delivers slightly better picture quality at a more-than-slight price increase. Although it's a bit too expensive to be considered my favorite pick in this category, the Pioneer PRO-FHD1 delivers the best picture quality of any television I've tested in the last year.
Although its price puts it out of reach for most buyers, the Pioneer PRO-FHD1 delivers the best picture quality I've tested this year.

THESE PEOPLE ARE CROOKSReview created: 03/11/08

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE THEY ARE CROOKS. They stole $3000 from me for a plasma that shipped broken and I have been in dispute with them for over 3 months. I bought this TV as a Christmas gift for my husband and it's been the worst decision I've ever made. When it came damaged I notified them that I needed my money back. They claim that UPS damaged the plasma during delivery and filed a claim with UPS who is awarding them $3000 for the value of the TV (so they're getting paid twice - first from me, second from UPS). I believe they shipped a broken plasma and this is part of their scam.
The first red flag that I was dealing with CROOKS is that they did not refund my money within 30 days like their return policy states. Instead, I believe they used this money to buy Christmas presents and pay for their moving expenses. In our communications you can tell that Kristy and her husband are not professional business people, they don't know how to spell and they sound like 4th graders. Her husband feeds her all kinds of lies to tell you as to when you'll get your money back to try to deter you from going to the authorities. They tried to stall me out because they knew that in the middle of all this mess, I had a baby. They kept telling me they were waiting on the company to refund the money so they could refund me...however they never told me who the "company" was (2nd red flag).
I caution you to deal via email with these people so that you have evidence of all the lies they have communicated.
I involved Paypal who unfortunately is now in the same situation I am in, trying to get $3000 back. The ACOSTAS didn't have the money in their account when I won the dispute with Paypal. Unfortunately I also had to involve my credit card company when I felt Paypal could not do much. If you want months of headache go ahead and buy from them...but you should know you're dealing with CROOKS. I'm now having to involve law enforcement to try to get my money so please beware of these sellers - they're up to no good. I don't want you to experience what I've been dealing with.

Excellent buy
) This is my second Pioneer plasma that I purchased. The reason is because everything about the set is awesome! The picture quality to the design of the plasma is great. I absolutely love this unit. I checked out other plasma's and for the price and the quality if this unit, nothing came even close. I highly recommend it!!!
