PDP-5030HD 50" HD Plasma TV Display

There are currently 3 current models of Pioneer plasma displays, the differences are as folows:

• The Pioneer PDP-502MX is an older model and has been discontinued.
• The Pioneer PDP-503CMX replaced the 502MX. The new model produces less heat and operating noise has been reduced. There have been slight improvements in the contrast ratio as well. The 503CMX is classed as a commercial model.
• The Pioneer PRO 1000HD is classed as a consumer model and is essentially the same as the 503CMX. The bezel on the PRO 1000HD is a contoured, thick, high gloss finish whereas the 503CMX has a thinner charcoal bezel. Other than that, no difference. The picture quality, glass and electronics are all identical.
• The Pioneer PDP-5030HD is a new model with a TV tuner box included. The plasma also comes with a table stand and speakers that attach to the sides. There have been slight improvements made to the contrast ratio also.

The visually stunning PDP-5030HD (4" thick, yet 50" diagonally) delivers movies, sports, and concerts in full high-definition, and even up-converts analog signals to a 768 progressive display, for a vastly improved picture. Its Deep-Encased Cell Structure drastically reduces leakage of light and color to adjacent pixels to deliver new industry standards in brightness and contrast. When you're playing a movie, the PureCinema II function recreates each still frame, for a more film-like presentation. It is also a high-resolution Mac or PC monitor, able to process input up to, and beyond, XGA. All connections go though an outboard Media Receiver, which maintains totally digital transmission for the highest signal quality. The Media Receiver includes dual NTSC tuners so you can watch two channels at once, and provides a full complement of inputs (including a dedicated component-video input). Detachable side speakers and a table-top stand complete the picture.
