Love at first sight can be fickle, and fleeting. That s why it s a little scary to write a sneak peak of a product under review so early in the review process. But pioneer elite s 50" PRO-fhd 1 is the first production full 1080p plasma on the market, and i m so enthusiastic about what i m seeing so far that a progress report is warranted. And yeah, something might come up later to break the spell, but so far this plasma has me mesmerized.
Before I give up the goods, some particulars. First, when we last wrote up this plasma as a "first look" component it was a full ten grand. Not any more. It s still expensive at $8k, but hey, that s still a couple thousand bucks in your pocket you can spend on, oh, I don t know, some 1080p sources to plug into this sucker.
As you can see from the above, pioneer is marketing this plasma with a lot of technical gobbledygook about why it looks good. I can t verify or comment on the cell structures, emissive layers (can tums cure that? ) or any of that. In fact, I think pioneer might have hired someone who writes the engineering room technobabble for one of the star trek series to come up with some it. But I can tell you the picture kicks ass, so whatever it means, there might be something to it.
Of note is that unlike the pioneer elite plasmas of the past (even the far less expensive ones) , the PRO-fhd 1 does not ship with the separate media receiver to which source components are connected. This plasma is well outfitted with ins and outs, including dual HDMI inputs, but lacks the convenience of connecting sources to the receiver, and then tethering that to the TV via a simple umbilical set of cables that don t change even when your sources do. The separate media receiver is great for in-wall or on-wall installations for that reason, and you re right for thinking $8k should be enough buy you that added convenience.
The pioneer is also strictly a video monitor. That is, it has neither a high nor standard definition over-the-air tuner, so must be used with an outboard set-top box for any sort of broadcast, satellite, or cable programming.
Price: USD 2400
