Customer Review: Great product - worth every penny
Summary: 5 Stars
I have just bought the Pioneer PDp-6020FD and I am very happy and would highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for a great 60" plasma hdtv.
I also have a 46" LCD and was looking to upgrade to a 55-60" size. The first decision was LCD again or Plasma. I asked many people about it and eventually decided on Plasma and I very glad I did. Colors are much truer and great for gaming too as there is no noticeable delays.
The other decision was whether to buy a Kuru or a normal plasma. If you are not sure about this I would strongly recommend the Kuru technology. The quality of the image is outstanding.
However the most difficult decision was whether to go for the standard (this one) or the more expensive PRO-151D. In the end i decided to go with the lower price option (difference in price was quite high), but I was quite concerned that the quality was not ideal. Once I plugged it in, all of the worry disappeared as I found the quality excellent and although I have no doubt the PRO series is better, I find it very difficult that it can be that much better to justify the difference in price.
Buying from Amazon was a great experience. Tv arrived in 4 days. I was contacted to organize time of delivery and installers were there in time and were most helpful in setting it up.
If you are looking for a great hdtv, I would strongly recommend the Kuro series. You will not be unhappy you paid a little more.
Customer Review: Flawless Delivery
Summary: 5 Stars
I was apprehensive ordering this TV through Amazon, especially given the reviews on trouble with shipping and white glove delivery. I had NO concerns about this TV, having seen it in a showroom locally and given its reviews.
Thankfully, I had a flawless experience, thanks to excellent service from Amazon and the shipping company, CEVA.
If you are buying this TV through Amazon, there are 2 important things you need to know. First, ordering through Amazon with delivery requires that you click directly on the "add to my shopping cart" link, and NOT through the "## new and used..." link. Seems stupid, but it guarantees that you order through Amazon and not from another company listed.
Second, if you are ordering this TV (or any other TV>50"), the service number at Amazon for big screens is 1-866-423-5355. Write it down, because it is a hard number to find with the regular Amazon service line. I talked with them before and during the delivery service, and they kept me well informed and were courteous and communicative. They also contacted me via email just in case.
Delivery was flawless and the unit was brand spanking new with no problems, and I felt confident that had there been problems with the TV, it would have been taken care of without an issue.
As for the TV itself, remember how much better it was when you got a blu-ray? Multiply that by ten.
Customer Review: Took two tries, but very happy

I ordered the PDP-6020FD from Amazon, even though the 6th Ave. price was a few bucks cheaper because I'd read about delivery problems with them. At $4049 with free white glove delivery, it was a great price. The unit shipped instantly and arrived two days early. The two guys who dropped it off were very nice, but they skipped the part about unpacking and checking out the unit. My wife, who was there to accept, was not aware that they owed us that. So that night we unpacked it to find the glass screen badly cracked. Called Amazon right away and they were very responsive and apologetic. They credited me the $103 white glove delivery cost, even though it was free to start with, then they shipped a replacement. It arrived within a week and was in perfect condition, just in time for the Olympics.
The unit itself is gorgeous, as many others have said. The Olympic opening extravaganza in 1080p on that giant screen was jaw-dropping. I have it hooked up through a new Pioneer VSX-1018 receiver that upconverts my Cox Cable box's 1080i signal. So far no issues. Ditto with the Playstation 3 that's also connected through the 1018. I'm not a big gamer, but MetalGear Solid 4 looks amazing on this TV.
A big thumbs up for the PDP-6020, and kudos to Amazon for taking good care of me on the delivery.
Customer Review: Love this TV!!

Have had the Pioneer for a couple of weeks now and this TV rocks! We have HDcable, Xbox360 and PS3 connected through an Onkyo TX-SR606 AV receiver and the picture quality is just stunning. Prefer the Optimum picture mode best so far. At first we thought the 60" was a little too big for our family room but now we couldn't imagine a smaller TV working as well. Attractive looking unit with glossy black borders. We attached the included speaker on the bottom of the unit because we think the system looks better with it installed (although we don't use the speaker for audio). Highly recommend this TV, and all that talk in the reviews about deep blacks is so true.
Bought TV through Amazon, and received free white glove service. White glove service was just okay for us. They brought the TV into the room where we wanted it but argued with us about installing the stand. They wanted to lean the TV against the wall and plug it in to verify it worked. Can you image expensive/huge TV just leaning against the wall as something good? We refused to accept this as a "setup" of the TV and they eventually put the stand on and then plugged the system in. All worked fine and they were out of here.
For now, we think this TV is the best you can get. Buy this TV!! You will not regret it.
Customer Review: Pricey, but worth it.

I don't know what I can add about this TV that hasn't already been said. The picture is so much better than any other set I've seen and the cosmetics of it are superb as well. As for Amazon customer support etc: I really like the way they have a seperate conceirge department for these high-ticket items and I needed them because I had a problem with the first set; it developed a line in the picture after about 6 hours of viewing. Amazon put in the order for the new one and said they would have CEVA pickup the old one when the new one was delivered. The delivery / pickup of the defective one is the only place I have any complaint. The two guys from CEVA acted like they were on a pit crew and couldn't get in / out fast enough. They wouldn't put the TV on the included stand (the guys who delivered the first one did) so it was impossible to check the sound or really hook up any source to the it. They plugged it in, made sure it turned on and then took off without half of the stuff I laid out for them from the return set (manual, remote, speaker brackets, etc.). The crew that delivered the first set were very professional, courteous and careful and everyone at Amazon was very helpful and professional throughout the process.
