Samsung UN55B8500 Review
The Samsung UN55B8500
It is a fact that LED HDTVs produce deeper blacks than standard LCD sets, the reason being that its backlight consists of many tiny LED bulbs that can be dimmed more significantly or even turned off completely to match the dark areas on the screen. This is especially true for local-dimming LEDs, like the Samsung UN55B8500, which is one of Samsung’s best LED HDTVs yet. Read more
Pioneer KURO PDP-5020FD Review
Pioneer KURO PDP-5020FD – A great HDTV!
A member of the distinguished Kuro line from Pioneer, the PDP-5020FD is an extra-ordinary HDTV that delivers top-notch and unrivaled performance. Pioneer proves that it reigns supreme when it comes to the large plasmas, though high-quality does come with a hefty tag. The PDP-5020FD is in fact the cheapest in the Kuro series for this year, yet it still costs much more than competing brands.
Design
Pioneer maintained the unadorned look of its plasmas in the PDP-5020FD – a shiny black frame surrounding the screen with a removable speaker at the panel’s bottom. The clean sheer look is perfect, though the screen is not flushed with the frame, leaving a thin strip that reflects bright lights that may become distracting. Moreover, this set comes with a solid-looking, non-swiveling stand that limits viewing to only one position. Read more

In spite of their many good points, like screen brightness and energy efficiency, motion resolution remains a weak area for LCD sets, particularly since the pixels remain lit between frames. The Toshiba Regza 55ZV650U, however, takes care of motion blur with its 240Hz effect at little extra cost.

Pioneer KURO PDP-6020FD Review
Pioneer KURO PDP-6020FD – Unrivaled Plasma
If you are looking for great performance HDTV and ready to spend for it, you definitely have to take a look at the awesome Pioneer KURO PDP-6020FD.
Words surely are not enough to describe the breathtaking performance of this top-notch HDTV from the most respected name in plasma TVs. It’s no wonder it’s the favorite piece of serious videophiles who know a great piece of equipment when they see one.
Design
The improvements in this HDTV are obviously in the electronics, rather than aesthetics, as this ninth generation plasma in the Kuro line basically looks much like its predecessors – simple minimalist frame with glossy finish, removable speakers and non-swiveling stand – a very clean look which is probably preferred by those who dislike being distracted from their TV viewing. Pioneer reconfigured the menu system and the remote but it seems the changes made it difficult to access some menus – such as the Picture menu which now takes about four button pushes. Along with the smaller and closely-spaced buttons, we didn’t find the changes adding value to this product. Read more
