The BEST flat screen plasma TV anywhere!
(5 out of 5) by William D. Catto on Mar 25, 2009The rumors are true. The Pioneer Pro 111FD 50" Kuro Elite HDTV offers the best picture and range of color I've seen. We researched Sony, Samsung, and Pioneer and found the Kuro to be the best. Yes it's expensive- but it's worth the additional investment.

Great TV, I Own A Watch
(5 out of 5) by Don C. Waddell on Apr 1, 2009 (Fresno, CA USA)This is hands down the best picture I have ever seen. I was somewhat hesitant about buying this product as Pioneer is no longer going to be making them, as I understand it. But after all the research and the price coming down to $2,800 I had to go for it. I love the picture. A negative reviewer wrote about bars on the side, mine automatically scales a 4:3 to 16:9 and it looks pretty good. Sure, when all broadcasts go to the wider format it will be even better but there are a lot more widescreen HD channels now. By the by, this TV is incredible coupled with a Blue Ray player. I bought a basic Sony stand alone and everything looks fantastic. I'm glad I took the plunge. As for the reviewer who didn't like the clock, my advice is to buy a watch and enjoy the TV.

Lots of money for a bad clock
(3 out of 5) by A. Evans on Nov 19, 2008 (San Francisco Bay Area, CA USA)OK, the image is fantastic. Lots of imputs, lots of settings available and good sound.
However some have some minor problems that shouldn't exist at the price of these beasts. Mine has the following problems:
1. The clock is one hour out for the time zone and there is no way to adjust the time.
2. The DST time function doesn't change the time. Even over a weekend.
3. When watching standard definition images the bars on the side of the image are almost white when the manual say they should be grey or dark grey.
This was reported almost two months ago and Pioneer still have no fix.
If these are minor issues for you it's a great TV but I'm not happy as these problems shouldn't exist at this cost.
