Amazon.com Product Description
The Pioneer KURO PDP-5010FD is a 1080p plasma television featuring an exceptionally bright and clear 50-inch screen. With a 16:9 aspect ratio widescreen, this television would be an ideal centerpiece for a home theater system in a medium-to-large-sized room. 
The KURO PDP-5010FD has the full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels for the most detailed picture available. View larger. View product details. | 
Connect a flash drive with the built-in slot and view photos on the large screen. View larger. | Outstanding Video Performance
With a screen as large as this, high resolution becomes more important because it is more possible to view each pixel from a distance. The PDP-5010FD is a native 1080p display, meaning it has a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, the highest standard available. The black levels on plasma screens are generally superb and this unit is no exception, with blacks that are an intense, deep black and a picture that has very high contrast as a result. The display features Pioneer's new ASIC video processing and scaling, which upconverts standard definition and other video resolutions for viewing at 1080p. A variety of noise reduction circuitry ensures a distortion-free picture at all times. Users can manually adjust the color temperature, gamma, and the levels of noise reduction circuitry and filters to fine tune the picture to their exact specifications. An optical light sensor automatically adjusts the picture for optimal viewing depending on the ambient light in the room, compensating for night and day and for the content of the video, such as sports, movies, or news. The PDP-5010FD also has a film mode that eliminates motion judder and provides smoother playback of film content. The PDP-5010FD is capable of remembering six picture settings for various A/V selections, with Movie, Game, Standard, Dynamic, and Optimum modes, as well as a user-defined preset. You can also set one of five aspect ratio presets in case you're watching standard-aspect 4:3 television. The television can also be set to auto-size when zooming is necessary. Connections for all your Components
The PDP-5010FD has a large complement of inputs, including four independent HDMI 1.3 inputs (two with analog audio). Additionally, it has two component inputs, three composite inputs, and one S-Video input. There is a USB connection that can connect a storage drive for viewing of photos. A built-in CableCard slot enables the PDP-5010FD to work with cable services without an extra decoding box. An ATSC and two NTSC tuners are built in and fully integrated for use with picture-in-picture and picture-side-picture modes. The television has outputs for Dolby Digital/PCM, audio, subwoofer, SR+, and headphone. The TV Guide On-Screen programming guide is included as well. Breathtaking Audio
The PDP-5010FD features a detachable bottom speaker with an integrated digital amplifier that improves the clarity and accuracy of the sound. The amplifier provides 17 watts of power for the two-way speakers and supports SRS WOW/FOCUS/TruBass surround sound. The PDP-5010FD is backed by a 1-year limited warranty.

Its in a different league February 1, 2010

I dont think it does justice to this or other Plasma / LCD TVs to compare Pioneer Kuro with them. They are in two different leagues. No one cam come even close to this except Pioneer Kuro Elite..which loses out on price.
 DO NOT BUY THIS TV January 30, 2010

The Pioneer plasma TV engine is the best in the industry. But they stopped making TVs (they license the technology) over a year ago. Prices actually went up as the last units were sold. I was looking for the last model year 5020, and when I searched Amazon this 5010 came up mixed in with 5020s. I did not notice the difference, and bought this prior-year model instead by mistake. It is fine for when it was made, but lacks many of the features, plus an inferior black level, compared to the 5020. So don't buy this one, buy the 5020 if you can find any left.
Grab one while you still can! December 6, 2009

As other reviewers have already stated with plenty of supporting information, the picture quality of this set is fantastic, even if you're watching an SD broadcast, and the sound from the detachable speaker bar is good enough to let you forgo, or at least put off, investing in a surround-sound system. What you may not know is that you can currently buy a PDP-5010fd from the Sam's Club auction website for around 1.2K, (which the guy I bought mine RIGHT HERE ON AMAZON did immediately after he got my 2 grand), so factor that in to your buying decision.
If you are unlucky, you may get one with an annoying buzz of varying intensity that emanates from the back of the panel. My set is blissfully silent, but many plasma panels are not. If you get one with a more serious issue, and live near an authorized Pioneer warranty service provider, just have it repaired - that's a lot cheaper than trying to ship one of these back at your own expense. Pioneer isn't making these anymore, but they'll still stand behind them for the 1-year warranty period.
I now own both a 60-inch Pioneer Plasma, and this 50-inch, and love both of them. If cost isn't your primary concern, buy the PDP-6020FD instead; the picture quality of that one will bring tears of joy to your eyes. In any case, I'd rather buy the slightly over-the-hill Pioneer Kuro than a "cutting-edge" set from another maker any day. They ARE that good.
Fantastic! November 26, 2009

Had to throw my two cents in - I have owned this TV for over a year, and even now in stores I see NOTHING that bests it as far as picture quality, and most don't even come close, especially with black levels. I watch mostly movies, SD is good, HD is great, and Blu-Ray is absolutely amazing! Can't comment on the detachable speakers as I never used them, but I've heard their sound is better than average. If you do purchase this set, my advice is to go to a few online forums to find the optimum viewing settings for movies, etc - these settings are surprisingly easy to find and use. As to the reported "buzz" that some reviewers have noted, I have never heard it. It does put off a fair amount of heat from the top of the set, so as it says in the instructions you want to leave a good amount of space above the set. As far as durability, after a year it is still performing flawlessly, with no "burn-in" or any other problems. Pioneer has contacted me a couple of times with firmware updates which were also very easy and painless to install. Bought it online, saved a bundle, and the delivery was fast and efficient. In short, I did weeks of research before making this purchase, and haven't regretted it for a minute. Kudos, Kuro!

I went back and forth for at least a year, plasma or LCD. Unless you have a particularly bright room plasma takes the prize. I've had this pioneer about 3 months. My buddy bought a 50" Sony LCD about the same time. We've watched football on both TVs. There is really no comparison for clarilty of picture, depth of black and smoothness of motion. The plasma is like looking through a window. Drawbacks? Price, maybe and it does give off quite a bit of heat.
