Like most 50-inch plasma televisions, the Pioneer Kuro PDP-5080 HDTV has a screen resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels. That’s not as many as competing (and usually more expensive) 1080p models.

Once adjusted, the Samsung delivered a bright colorful picture. Watching the HD movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory colors were practically exploding off the screen. It was able to handle a broad range of colors equally well. Continue reading »
