More Than I Could Have Wished For.......2006-06-20

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.

Great TV Little Over Priced.......2006-04-13

I purchased this TV at BEST BUY. The Model Best Buy used is PDP-5061HD 50". Must be because of price or something to that effect. I think this is one of the best TV's out there besides Panasonic or Sony. I did a lot of research alot of looking at different TV's I am no expert but the colors on the screen are just exceptional. I was really debating between the Pansonic TH-50PX500U 50" and the Pioneer. I choose the Pioneer because controling the TV was easier and three HDMI inputs. I have a XBOX 360 but I just don't want that image burn on a 5000.00 set. Overall I would highly recommend buying this TV.

Image burn-in.......2006-04-10

image burn is a huge problem. I haven't yet seen any off of TV logos (yet), but after playing xbox on this display i have one in the corner. I noticed this after I just rented a game and had played it for no more than one hour.

I had done lots of research before purchasing this model and was impressed with the reviews. My personal experience with the set has not been as good. Artifacts all over, even on HD broadcasts. Watching the winter olympics on HD was nice, but especially on snowboarding events there were blocky artifacts. Color bleeding is evident, especially on Master Shake on Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I'm not an expert by any means, so i paid to have it installed and calibrated. At no point was i warned about image burn, in fact i was told it wouldn't happen..."oh this is 5th gen plasma they got rid of that problem..."

Overall I can't recommend this set at all. Artifacts, color bleeding and image burn after less than hour is unacceptable for a set at this price.

Great TV!.......2005-11-23

I just got this TV and am very impressed.

One note, a prior review said this TV was 2K cheaper at Costco. When I looked, I found a Pioneer 50", but it was a different model.

Product Description

Beamer TV Videophone works with your television, home phone and home phone line, to instantly add video to your phone calls. Call your family and friends, and see them on your television screen. With Beamer TV, families can experience the joys and benefits of videophone calls by seeing family and friends they are talking to displayed on their television screen. Beamer TV is easy to set up and easy to use - as easy as making a phone call. Beamer TV is easy to set up in four simple steps. Plug your phone into Beamer TV, plug Beamer TV into your television's RCA video jack, connect Beamer TV to your wall phone jack, and plug in Beamer TV's power adapter. Beamer TV's performance features offer callers a wide range of choices. Beamer TV is stylishly designed to fit anywhere. With a slim, sleek shape and lightweight body, Beamer TV is ideal for any viewing environment. Beamer TV is designed to add live, color motion video to phone calls using any home phone and television (with RCA video jack), over any home (analog) phone line. The quality of the video connection is dependent on the quality of your phone line connection, just as the audio quality is dependent on the phone line connection when Beamer TV is not in use.

Amazon.com Product Description

Early Adopters Pick: October 2003. Call family and friends and see them on your TV. The Vialta Beamer adds video to your conversations using an ordinary telephone line. Two phones per package.

Vialta's new Beamer TV gives you the ability to instantly add video to phone calls using your existing home phone and television. Beamer TV works with any home phone (corded or cordless) over any standard analog phone line (one-line or two-line) to display full color video of the person you're talking to. All you have to do is pick up the phone, dial a friend or family member (who also has a Beamer TV or Videophone), and press the Start/Views button on the remote control.

Beamer TV is small, so it fits in narrow spaces; it is designed to sit atop your television. It has a built-in 0.25-inch CMOS camera that can capture full-motion video and transmit it to your recipient at 4 to 15 frames per second. Transmission speed is dependant on phone line quality and connection rate, as well as the amount of motion and detail being transferred.

When not in use, the remote control rests in a recessed niche so it's easy to find, and a camera cover protects the lens from dust and scratches. And, the Beamer TV has a skid-proof base to prevent accidental slipping and the need to realign the built-in camera.

Setup is easy--simply plug your phone into Beamer TV, plug Beamer TV into your television's RCA video jack, connect Beamer TV to your wall phone jack, and plug in Beamer TV's power adapter. There is no special wiring or equipment required, and no service agreement, so the only charges that will appear on your phone bill are those for long distance.

What's in the Box
Two each of: Beamer TV unit, standard 25-foot telephone cord (RJ-11) x 2, 6-foot video cable, remote control, AC power adapter, user guide, warranty card

Great for when your away from the family.......2007-01-09

I got the beamer for christmas because I knew that I would be away from my family for the holidays. I set up the one at home before I left and On Christmas morning I made the call home and even though we were 900 miles apart we hot to open our gifts together.
The only draw back was that BOTH of the remote control batteries were dead
so we couldn't use all the features.
The beamer is a excellent item to have for familys that are spread out over the country and can't get to see each other as much as they would like. (IE) grandparents

Video Phone.......2005-10-25

I am not happy with the results I have gotten using this product. I bought 2 video phones, one for my granddaughter and one for myself. I am able to see her, although picture is not clear, but she is not able to see me. This would be a great idea if the bugs had been worked out first!

Waste of money ... doesn't work........2005-09-27

First, the camera is very low quality. I have a lot of light over-exposure, even when the blinds are closed and a rainy day. Also (perhaps because of it) there are hardly any colors.

Second, the two units I bought don't want to exchange their video. I have been reading the manual over, and over again. We tried it many times, but the two units don't want to connect.

This technology is not as simple as Vialta wants you to believe it is.

Also, I noticed that a lot of units are being sold through Ebay - another sign that the Beamer doesn't work for most users.

And, Vialta doesn't have a forum in their website. To me that's an indication they have a lot of problems they don't want you to know about before you buy the Beamers.

My opinion ... a simple waste of money.

Disappointed again in Vialta.......2004-07-16

This is the second time I have tried a Vialta Beamer. First the tabletop version and then the TV version. My children and parents were so excited to see each other while talking on the phone. We thought that this technology was truly made for families like ours. Unfortunately, it is just not there yet. The picture is not clear and it can't really capture any motion from the kids. We were truly disappointed again in Vialta.

OUTSTANDING VIDEOPHONE !!!!.......2004-02-14

The Beamer TV Videophone is a Must Have for anyone with family and loved ones who live far apart!
I live in California, my parents and family live on the east coast. In a good year, we get to see each other maybe 3 times. Since moving to CA, I've married, have a daughter and have a son on the way -- making it even more important (and more difficult at the same time) to get to see my family on the east coast. But with the Beamer TV videophone we see each other at least once a week. The quality of transmission is really good and far above what my expectations were, and the price is unbeatable. Plug it into your phone line, connect the video line to your TV (just like a vcr) and you're all set - no other installation, no other costs/fees. Now my parents can see their grandkids grow, and my kids will get to know their grandparents better and see them all the time - as opposed to just a voice on a phone and cards and gifts in the mail. I'm getting this thing for all of my siblings next. Beamer TV Videophone is a definite must have for anyone with family/friends who live far apart!!! It's just too easy and too great not to have one!
