TheFactor, good upstanding Audioholics like myself demand a mini-review!
Ok Josten this mini review is for you
Please keep in mind I've had a 12 hour day at work today and been up since 3am this morning
so if my review is a little unclear thats why and thats my story and im sticking to it
With that being said I figure if I have enough energy to watch my new display that you've helped me choose
the least I can do is get off my lazy butt and give you my review of my New Pioneer Kuro PDP-6020FD and not make you wait any longer . Ok to start off with i'll state the Quality build of the Pioneer starting with the Display frame It appears to be built very well the piano black finish that doesn't have a wave in it I mean it looks as smooth as glass when looking at angle, I dont know how they did it I've never screen a display that had such a nice finish. I really like the thoughtful things pioneer has engineered into this display cosmetically for just being one of there entry level models it looks like it should be there Elite . The Stand is made out of a metal type material and is flat black and very tasteful looking and I really like the dim blue light in the bottom corner of frame very subtle when viewing a movie in the dark and not distracting at all . The Removable speaker bar mounts perfectly on the bottom of the frame and sounds incredible for a flat panel speaker system and as matter of fact i've never heard one that good before and normally never listen to them but I do this one not only at night when im not in the mood for dual subs and seven speakers lol but I even find myself listening to it during the day to when watching simple things on the discovery channel and so on . Ok now the Picture quality and my personal oppinion , I think its a very clean and natural picture its bright but not eye watering or straining when viewing a late night movie with the lights out. I think the colors are very accurate "to me" I think it looks great . I dont honestly think it has the picture detail the Panasonic 65v10 did although very close and im very happy with it and it makes up for it in all other areas. The Blacks on this kuro are inky black and blend in with frame sometime and actually had to get up and get a closer look to see if it was wide screen or not. Also the picture seems to have really good depth that really makes up for the difference in detail . It does have excellent detail but im just saying without a side by side comparison its close . All in all im very content/happy with my new kuro and intend on keeping it
I have logged almost a 100 hours in a little over a week and a half so I figure in another week or so i'll be ready for a calibration and even though im totally satisfied im looking forward to taking it to the next level .Oh and almost forgot it also has outstanding pq on 1o80i cable viewing standard channels , blu-rays are incredible to ! Ok Josten theres my mini review and if I missed anything just let me know and thank you again for the in depth help and guidance Even threw the rough waters of my display searching journey and to all for the much needed help and the end results were great im finally Happy !!
