 Lots of money for a bad clock Nov 19, 2008
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.

 top of the line, unbelievable. Oct 29, 2008
I purchased this TV 2 months ago (9/2008) from a local store. This TV is hands down the best TV on the market! 5 stars. I haven't found a single thing that I don't like about it.
It is hard to put into words how much better this TV was compared to every other TV in the store. The picture is bright and crisp. Hands down had the best picture in the store... Why? Bright Colors and a million shades of black.
There are so many more shades of grey and black that you'll see on this TV that you won't see on another TV until they are side by side and you see what you're missing. One of my all time favorite movies is Apocalypse Now. When you watch a movie like Apocalypse Now that has a lot of night scenes, you'll notice so much more detail because it doesn't come up as just black. You'll see the water move, you'll see the detail in the dirt... There are all these details that you never saw on a regular TV (or older plasma for that matter).
If you look at my other reviews, you'll see that I have a Samsung LCD TV that I reviewed a year ago. That is a great TV that hangs in front of the treadmill. The samsung is great where it is and is just fine for watch the evening news or for watching 30 Rock. But if you want to see the details in movies, you need to get a KURO. The KURO blows that TV out of the water for picture quality and for sound. There is a big price difference, but you'll see the difference in the picture!
*** Additional comments on the picture*** I watched the final table on ESPN the other night on my Samsung LCD. On that TV the Phillips fan in white t-shirts were all blued out because of the black lights and you can't make out the people at all. I just flipped the channels and see that on the KURO, they aren't blued out and you can see all them and make them out. Truly amazing. I don't know how much of this is because of Time Warner HD or the TV set, but there is a remarkable difference.
Another thing that I've really noticed is that text is so much cleaner and the lines of the text are perfect. There is so much difference it's hard to put it into words.
This is an expensive TV, but you wouldn't be reading this if you weren't interested in buying it. So, if you have the money, this is the TV that you'll want to buy. The picture will blow you away.
I keep editing and adding to this review because I keep finding more and more things that I really like. I've talked about the picture, but the sound is truly amazing for a TV. You can watch any action movie and use the TV speakers and you won't be disappointed. I have mine hooked up to a Denon 4308 amp and 6 Klipsch speakers and the sound system is great. BUT HONESTELY, YOU COULD ENJOY ANY ACTION MOVIE WITHOUT THIS SETUP. The dialog is crisp and has more bass than not expected. You could very easily get a silimar effect by getting a small subwoofer and connecting directly to the back of the TV. Overall, the sound on this set is very good for a TV.
Options- This TV is loaded with customization and options. If you're like me and want to have the adjustments to get things just right, you're going to appreciate the many ways you can adjust the picture and sound.
To wrap it up-
~The best picture possible
~Great sound right from the included speakers
~Lots of options and the ability to customize all aspects of the picture and sound

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
