Rating : - More Than I Could Have Wished For I recently purchased this the Pioneer 5060 50" HD TV and I must say I am blown away. I've had a 27" for ten years with a surround sound system that sounded great. However, with three remotes and wires everywhere, I really wanted something that made things simpler. This TV is that and so much more. Since it has it own stand, we decided to purchase a piece of furniture to put it on rather than a glass or pressboard entertainment center. It weighs around 60 lbs - which is 1/3rd the weight of the "projection" TV's. While I wouldn't suggest moving it about the house - it can be done with ease.The day before the TV arrived, I took the plunge and removed my surround sound speakers, amp, old TV and disassembled the old "entertainment" center. It weighed nearly 150 lbs and I couldn't get it out of the house by myself unless I took it apart. The Pioneer arrived and sat perfectly on the small piece of furniture we had purchased at Pier 1. What a difference it appearance. The Pioneer comes with two speakers on the side of the TV that have a special surround feature built into them. I then attached a Sony Powered subwoofer to the "sub-out" on the media box. Clean and simple. I've watched quite a few movies since and I can honestly say it sounds great - I don't miss the surround-sound mess at all. The picture is just awesome. We watched MARCH OF THE PENGUINS - and the colors were simply amazing. It looks better than in the theatre. Pioneer Pure Vision is their patented technology to a great picture. The presets for the various picture modes are all great. The remote is easy to use - and the supplied media box makes connectioning all your other gear simple. You don't have to go behind the TV to connect anything - a big minus with many of the other upright thin sets. One last thing. The 50" picture fills your field of vision - and I can honeslty say watching in a darkened room is as close to a theatre experience as you can come. I give this unit 5 big stars - the picture, the sound, the appearance, ease of use and the features of the media box really make this a winner. Does it cost a bit more - yes - but it's worth every penny. Read more ... |  |
