Product Description

Pioneer Plasma screen technology moves miles ahead of competition to deliver top performance color and imaging as part of your home-theater environment. The image is so sharp and definitive that you can use this as a monitor display for your PC computer system (analog and digital). With Pioneer's new Advanced PureCinema with pulldown, film-based material on DVD, videotape, and even regular TV will match the smooth, natural reproduction you'd see in a theater. DCR (Digital Cable Ready) Tuner with Passport Banner (requires PSIP support) provides easy plug n play of basic cable channels without the need for an outboard cable box. The clear front of the PDP-5050HD is actually a precisely manufactured optical-grade non-glass panel. It acts as a color filter that increases the spectrum of light emitted by the plasma, for a fuller range of colors and exceptional color accuracy vs. previous versions which use front filters made of glass. It also increases contrast by limiting ambient light reflections in bright viewing environments, delivering up to 1280 x 768 resolution for HDTV capability. ACE III (Advanced Continuous Emission III) uses 10-bit processing to produce 1,792 gradation steps for each cellÂ?creating a palette of well over 1 billion colors and delivering reproduction accuracy up to 16 times greater than other panels. Just add a home-theater surround sound system and home entertainment moves up several notches. Built-in ATSC tuner lets you receive free over-air HDTV signals ( optional HDTV antenna required ).

Amazon.com Product Description

Pioneer's 50-inch, digital cable ready PDP-5050HD PureVision plasma TV represents the state-of-the-art from head to toe. Its perfectly flat, high-contrast, high-brightness (1,000 cd/m2) display benefits from high-quality engineering and innovative Pioneer enhancement technologies.

With a plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the PDP-5050HD is a mere 3.7 inches deep, perfect for desk or wall mounting. Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems.

The PDP-5050HD is packaged with a stand-alone media receiver equipped with an ATSC terrestrial HDTV tuner and a full set of interfaces, including a next-generation High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). This all-digital, high-bandwidth interface can transfer huge amounts of pure, digital data at very fast rates.

The media receiver is compatible with high-definition terrestrial broadcast transmissions as well as NTSC (standard definition) broadcasts, both of which factor into the set's 2-tuner PIP (picture-in-picture) performance. The media receiver also manages an array of inputs, including satellite, cable, DVD, DVR/VCR, and computer signals up to wide XGA (1,280 x 768).

In the PDP-5050HD, each individual lamp is encased in its own deep "cell," with walls on all sides so light can't bleed into neighboring cells. This energy-efficient design allows each lamp to deliver a more concentrated beam of light, rendering truer colors and brighter images.

The set also uses a first-surface Pure Color Filter. The PDP-5050HD's clear front is actually a precisely manufactured optical-grade non-glass panel. It acts as a color filter that increases the spectrum of light emitted by the plasma, for a fuller range of colors and exceptional color accuracy over previous models, which use front filters made of glass. It also increases contrast by limiting ambient light reflections in bright viewing environments.

Pioneer PureDrive ensures a pure digital signal path from source to image. With PureDrive, an analog broadcast is converted once to digital and remains in the digital domain until viewing. All incoming digital signals go through no analog-to-digital conversion. By minimizing or eliminating the A/D or D/A conversions, Pioneer reduces various kinds of digital "noise."

Advanced PureCinema maintains faithful and accurate reproduction of film-based content. Pioneer was the first to introduce advanced film detection using 3:3 film-to-video conversion at 72 Hz in a plasma display. This renders film content smoothly and naturally, closer to what you'd see in a movie theater. Previously, televisions offered only 3:2 film-to-video conversion at 60 Hz, which--while still a great improvement over unprocessed video--nevertheless resulted in visible onscreen artifacts, such as slightly uneven motion.

Pioneer's Advanced Continuous-Emission display technology III (ACE III) represents another first, eliminating false contours that can appear in close-ups of faces. This improved 10-bit processing allows 1,792 gradation steps for each cell, so the television can display smooth transitions from dark to light areas without losing detail or compromising the image contrast. ACE II works with PureDrive to permit the set to display more than a billion colors.

You can position the set on a table or mount it to the wall, and it's designed to accent almost any home decor. For digital programming, you'll also enjoy access to the Passport Banner electronic program guide.

Connections abound: choose from 17 digital and analog terminals, including dual HDMI and IEEE 1394 (i.Link) connections, a front-panel RGB jack for easy connection to a PC or Macintosh output, and a range of composite-, component-, and S-video inputs. S-video/composite-video/RF tuner outputs foster hookup with ancillary devices such as DVRs or VCRs. The set also includes side-mounted speakers and a tabletop stand that swivels.

What's in the Box
Plasma panel, media receiver, 2 speakers, a swivel stand, a smart remote control, remote batteries, a remote stand (with 4 mounting screws), 4 screw-hole caps, a 3-meter digital connection cable, a 1.8-meter VCR controller, 2 AC power cords, 3 speaker cushions, 3 bead bands, 3 speed clamps, a cleaning cloth, 1 RF coaxial AV cable, a user's manual, and warranty information.

PureVision Plasma.......2005-09-21

Purchased the 50" Pioneer several months ago and have been totally satisfied with the performance of this television. The picture in high definition is crystal clear with unbelievable color. I spent a great deal of time researching plasma, lcd and dlp televisions before deciding on this model.
There is no comparable television on the market that can match the picture or quality of this model. While there are less expensive products on the market, the old adage "you get what you pay for" is applicable here.
Having a seperate media center for cable, dvd, and receiver connections is a major advantage over having cables connected to the screen. I've mounted the TV on the wall, and while a little time consuming, was relatively simple.
When not viewing digital programming, the picture is comparable to viewing regular television and acceptable.
You would be challenged to find another plasma comparable to the Pioneer.

Customer Reviews:

If your a GAMER dont buy this machine.......2006-01-01

I purchased the computer about a year ago and am pleased with its processing speed and ablility do run differnt programs easily. I also love the fact that it comes with 6 months of norton so every six i back up everything and reboot the comp cause im to lazy to by a year package. I have been able to run games like Diablo 2 and other games but recently i tried to install Age of Empires 3 and it runs it but doesnt have the graphics to run it smoothly. If u enjoy your pc games dont buy it if u just want to search the internet and all those little things its a great comp.

A little disappointed...........2004-12-29

After two weeks of use I will say that this unit is probably worth the money and I've enjoyed the digital photo editing features. However, after deleting all of the superfluous junk that's always bundled into a new PC I still find the comp a little slow under multi task load. Also, the first game I installed was Sid Meier's Pirates. It will not run. The integrated motherboard graphics aren't up to the task. I'm looking for a new VGA card that won't overheat my system now. If you're a gamer, don't buy this unit. AS

Nice System..........2004-11-05

Two points, It does NOT come with a floppy drive however a external USB floppy drive is avaliable from HP for $49. Also I have'nt yet found a way to install a second internal hard drive. Those are really my only two complaints. A top notch fast multi media system. It DOES come with Microsoft Works and Money plus a bunch of graphic software.

This system replaced a 2 year old Gateway equipped with a Intel Pentium IV processor rated also at 2.2 gh. The HP is a noticeable faster machine. Flight Sim 2001 runs with measurable faster frame rates. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase.
