CNET Editors' Take

CNET did not review the Pioneer Kuro PDP-6020FD, but we did review a smaller model in the series.

Review:

Although CNET did not review the 60-inch Pioneer Kuro PDP-6020FD, we did review the 50-inch Pioneer Kuro PDP-5020FD. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Pioneer plasma HDTVs are basically identical but for screen size, so we expect the review of the 50-inch model to give a good indication of how the 60-inch model will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Pioneer Kuro PDP-5020FD.

"Good Picture, but Good Riddens, Pioneer" By whatthedileo

Pros: Inky blacks, detachable speakers - a rare but very welcome feature for those who use the TV only as a monitor, and like to have a picture-frame style wall-mounted plasma.

Cons: The TV tuner is GARBAGE. I have had a better cable TV tuner experience with every VCR I've owned since the 80's. Slow to warm up, slow to react, and much slower to initially find all available stations (an hour or more?). Very limited pic tweaks.

Summary: This was a definite step-up from my 2004 50" Panasonic monitor. But the tuner is so pathetic on the Kuro that I use this huge display for nothing but DVD. The black levels on the Kuro put the old Panasonic to shame, without a doubt. But c'mon, you can'... Expand full review

"Best picture Yet." By jray21

Pros: Great colors, strong blacks. Automatically adjusts to video input size and quality with HDMI(My Toshiba, only 1 year old, would not always pick the correct format. Clear picture even with non-HD. Screen not as reflective as other glossy screens.

Cons: Screen does reflect a little, but not nearly enough to make it a problem.

Summary: Absolutely incredible. With the price at 3500 it's a lot more reasonable. It's worth every cent. I highly recommend it.
