 screen burn in June 29, 2006

This is a fantastic tv, although a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Brilliant colours, quality sound, would look good in anyones living room. Unfortunately though i have come across a BIG problem, screen burning! after watching 90 minutes of football when the match had finished i was left with the sky one logo on the top left hand corner of my screen, among a few others. This is deeply frustrating as i think after paying so much money this shouldn`t happen. I am no expert on plasma tvs and had no idea this sort of thing could occur. This problem lets down a great tv. So please be aware when purchasing your new plasma

Basically if you are after a 42" to 43" Flat Screen TV then the Pioneer is the choice for best picture. It gives a better picture than any rival manufacturer on either Plasma or LCD.
The superb picture is a result of Pioneer's Purevision system.
Exclusive to Pioneer, Purevision ensures that contrast is pin sharp, colours are clean and are not distorted, and black in particular is is beautifuly defined, with hues of incredible depth and clarity.
The fuzziness of colours like black you would expect on other Flat Screen TVs is simply non existent.
Watch a black and white film on this Plasma display and you will see what I mean.
I have foregone the optional side speakers and have plugged mine into a 6.1 Home Cinema System. Therefore, I cannot give any opinion on the performance of these speakers.
However, I would recommend a good HDMI DVD player to go with this Plasma Display. Look no further than the magnificent Denon 1920 DVD player which gives superb HDMI pictures, in conjunction with the Pioneer Plasma Screen.
One drawback of the Pioneer Plasma Screen is that it will clearly show up not so great pictures at source eg VHS, old TV programmes, DVDs with poor picture transfer etc.
A note for cleaning the screen and surround, invest in a Fibre Free cloth. Follow Pioneer's instructions re being able to use flannels or soft cloths and you will end up scratching these surfaces, in particular the gloss black surround. To repeat, the only cloth that will clean these surfaces safely is a Fibre Free cloth.
If you do end up scratching the Gloss Surround though, an application of a DVD/CD Restorer such as Bib Polish will normally reduce such scratching by 90% to 95%.
Screen burn is a hazard of Plasma TVs. Logos from News and Sports channels can remain afterwards! If you get screen burn, my advice is to select a channel without any logos immediately, and let it play for approximately 30 mins. I find that it does clear it.
Nonetheless, this remains a magnificent Plasma Screen, and well worth the additional money over its rivals. That superb picture alone will quickly make you forget any extra cost.
I have had my Pioneer Plasma Screen for 7 months now and am still absolutely delighted with it.
I think you will feel the same way after purchasing one of these beauties.
Extraondinary Picture - Impressive Price April 29, 2006

Although this is the most expensive plasma in its class (excluding the specialty producers), the picture rewards the buyer long after the extra grand is forgotten. Like a baby grand, even when not in use, the monitor's sharp styling and modern finish impress. In an ideal world, there would be one more component input on the rear of the receiver and the excellent speakers would be optional as most will insist on a 5.1 system for the full viewing experience. If the monitor is out of your price range, the Panasonic 42" is an excellent second choice and a no-brainer if you cannot exceed $3,000.00.
