Customer Review: Where is the white glove delivery?
Summary: 4 Stars
Too early to evaluate the product since it has been up and running for only two days; so far, so good. However, my concern was with the expected "white glove" delivery from Amazon that never happened. For the white glove delivery, the unit is brought into the house, unpacked, assembled, checked, and the packing material carted away. The only condition for this service is that the product is bought from Amazon. Instead we received the "standard" delivery in which the unit was only brought into the house. The day before the unit was to arrive the shipment company called and informed us that our shipment was standard as opposed to white glove. After I told them this shipment was to be white glove, they checked again and found that it was indeed standard. They also mentioned that this was not the first time they received such an query as to type of delivery, suggesting to us that Amazon does not make a clear statement about their shipping policy.
So buyer beware; Amazon is quite misleading with their conditions of shipment, and this becomes problematic when the merchandise is heavy, awkward, and fragile.
Solution: Amazon clarify their white glove policy.

This is the best Plasma out there by far (and I reviewed them all for the last 2 years before buying one). I read reviews that spoke of the inability to make detailed picture adjustments but have found this to be a false statement. It has plenty of picture options for any format you would want to watch from movies to sports. Keep in mind that you will need to purchase HD reception to really get a quality picture. Once you do this you will never regret the money you spent. I hooked it up to an HD DVR and it is better than going to an IMAX theatre! The Home Media Gallery is feature that influenced my choice and I am totally satisfied that I paid for this. I have my entire home wired with CAT5 and the network is ran by 2 Home Servers. With this TV hooked up to the network I can play music like it's cool along with photo slide shows and movies. HMG makes this plasma not only a TV but a full entertainment center. Final thoughts...The setup was a breeze and the TV was ready 15 minutes after it was delivered. This plasma has more options for viewing and sound than the reviews on any website reveal. BUY IT!!!Customer Review: Not Happy

Bought this model from Amazon with "White Glove" delivery. When the guys showed up with the TV they just left it in the box in the living Room and were ready to leave until my wife reminded them it was "White Glove", strike one. They took it out of the box, and put the box in the truck and were ready to leave until my wife mentioned to them what about the various accessories that came with the TV(they were still in the box that was now in there truck(strike two). My wife asked them twice to make sure they took everything out of the box and they assured her they did. when I came home that night I noticed one of the pipe stands was missing(strick three). We call Amazon who contacted Pioneer, who sent another Pipe stand but it is a different size than the one that came in the box, (strike four). We contacted Pioneer who told us the part they sent was the correct one and they don't know why we had the larger pipe stand in the box. I'm hoping Pioneer will send us another pipe stand quickley and without any problems or I am sending this TV back to Amazone for another one.Customer Review: Best display under $10,000

If picture quality is important to you, and you don't want to spend significantly more, this is your display. It doesn't get better than this at this price point. It's got 4 HDMI inputs, you can hook a computer up to it, as well as the usual array of monitor options. Contrary to popular opinion, this TV can be calibrated through it's service menu, using software from ControlCal, so it's not worth the premium for the Elite. Enough has been written concerning the stellar picture quality, but an underappreciated feature of this display is its sound quality, especially using the SRS options. Obviously, you'll want to run this through a dedicated surround system, but in a pinch, the supplied speakers are surprisingly good. I would also recommend running a burn in CD (check out AVS forum, settings for KURO 6020) for 150 hours, then doing the ControlCal service menu calibration (you can use the suggested settings from AVs forum). You will then have an uncompromised-in-any-way killer display that is state of the art!Customer Review: Fantastic!

We purchased this as an early Xmas present. CEVA White Glove Delivery Service was excellent! I had researched what the White Glove Service actually would entail and knew that they would not "install" to cable boxes, DVD, etc. Still with HDMI it was a breeze, we made the actual connections! The CEVA employees were in and out in less than an hour on a Saturday afternoon in time for the 4th quarter of the AL/FL game. It was very useful that we had downloaded the Operator's Manual from Pioneer's website so we knew how to assemble the stand and speakers AND about the power button on the back, not just the side.
The picture is beyond anything we imagined. We didn't really get the "blackest black" until we started watching it.
I noticed on the Amazon website that a few days after we ordered that the TV was then being sold by 6th Ave. and at a much lower price. Though no White Glove Delivery. So it equalled out.
We are very happy with the service and the TV itself.
