Pioneer PDP-5080HD 50" Plasma HDTV

Pioneer has long been a leader in the manufacturing of plasma HDTVs, and reviews across the Internet have praised sets such as the PDP-5080HD for their outstanding picture quality and powerful features.

The PDP-5080HD's 50" screen delivers rich, bright colors and deep blacks to create some of the most vivid pcitures you'll find on any modern television.

The PDP-5080HD is packed with some dynamic features to make your viewing room the ultimate home theater. The set has many connection options for hooking up all your components, and you'll enjoy being able to watch your own photos by hooking up your camera to the PDP-5080HD's USB connection.


The real question is this: is the PDP-5080HD the best television to meet your particular needs?

Let's take a look at some of the most important things for you to consider when comparing HDTVS:

- First, make sure you've settled on the right technology. Comparisons of plasma vs. LCD vs. DLP will reveal that each type of televisions has its own pros and cons. Since you're interested in the PDP-5080HD, you probably already know that plasmas are known for their richness and depth of color, unparalleled ability to reproduce the color black, and better viewing angles than LCD screens.

- Have you considered all the leading brands? Read reviews of the leading plasma sets offered by Panasonic, Sony and others. Each manufacturer has developed proprietary technologies to set their televisions apart, and you owe it to yourself to review the merits of each. (Check out the sets we've highlighted for comparison in the right sidebar.)



- Have you considered the size of your viewing room? A 50" display like the PDP-5080HD is best viewed when the primary seats are roughly 10 or 12 feet away.

- Do you need 720p or 1080p? If you don't have devices capable of providing a full 1080p high-definition picture, you might choose to go with a 720p set like the PDP-5080HD. But if you do have the latest components like HD-DVD or Blu-Ray players, or next-generation gaming systems like the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, consider a 1080p set to get the most resolution these devices can output.

- Finally, don't just trust the ratings offered by Internet sites. Find out what actual buyers of the PDP-5080HD have to say about it at Amazon.com.
