The all black glossy outer case with golden ELITE on the bottom gives it a nice look. There are two speakers on both sides of the TV. Fortunately, the stand as well as the speakers can be detached from the TV. Though the remote has been redesigned, the small grid-lined buttons are not easy to use.

When dealing with the on screen menu, you will be surprised to see that Pioneer has managed to shrink the picture to one side of the screen and the other portion is filled by the menu and explanation. A special room lighting sensor feels the ambient light conditions and adjusts the picture in view of that.

For HD picture, there is a very nice set of six aspect ratio modes, and five for standard def. also, there is an Auto mode that tries to set the aspect ratio that suits you best. With the Home Media Gallery, photos, videos and music can be enjoyed on the TV via USB or Ethernet port.

Product’s Unique Selling Points:

• Deepest black levels ever seen
• Accurate color
• Great antireflective screen
• Nice connectivity
• Superb picture controls

Limitations:

• Highly expensive
• Ordinary SD processing

Final Words:

The TV produces outclass and top of the line picture. Blacks are as deep and colors are as accurate as we want them to be. Video processing, on the other hand, is superb too. Overall, it is an awesome choice if you have the guts to give away $400.
