CNET Asia Review
View score
The bad: Less than perfect color decoding with red push; minor visible low-level noise in dark materials.
The bottom line: The Pioneer PDP-506HD offers excellent picture quality, great style and superior features--its only real downside is that it's priced more than the competition.

Best picture around
Mar 30, 2006Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Just simply incredible picture
Cons: Connectivity options limited
Opinion:
I ended up buying this plasma after giving up on larger-screen LCDs. This model and the Panasonic models had great reviews but this was Pioneer's latest generation model and Panasonic's latest one is 4-6 months away. The picture detail and black level are just incredible. I have absolutely no regrets over buying this. The only question I have is why this model for Asia includes a Media box with only one HDMI connection and one analog tuner. The models for Europe and the USA both have 2 HDMI connections, PC Card connection and dual tuners including HDTV ASC tuner. Why not our model here in Asia?
Amazing picture

Opinion:
Saw the screen at one of the shops in Australia, sharp and virtually no simmering picture. Better than LCD for smooth action.
