Pioneer PDP-LX608D review

Reviews Pioneer's new 42-inch and 50-inch Kuro TVs have already won CNET hearts. StrengthsAny concerns we may have had about Pioneer's remarkable Kuro picture quality not being able to stretch up to 60 inches are quickly and emphatically quashed.

Pioneer PDP-428XD: The blackest plasma of them all

Crave Here to re-illusion you is the PDP-428XD, one of Pioneer's 'Kuro' televisions. Clearly, Pioneer believes this is one ninja TV. As you would expect from Pioneer, the 428XD has an impressive array of high-definition inputs, including three HDMI...

Pioneer BDP-LX70 review

Reviews Pioneer has bravely entered the high-definition format war by nailing its colours to the Blu-ray mast with a new high-end player, the BDP-LX70. They're particularly magnificent if you set the player to output the 1080p/24fps format (used to master...

Four of the best plasma televisions

Reviews Panasonic and Pioneer produce the richest black levels we've seen, but both Samsung and LG have models that hold their own. And lastly, the mother of all televisions: the Pioneer PDP-LX6090, which we think is quite possibly the best TV on the...

Four of the best Blu-ray players

Reviews It doesn't support Profile 1.1, but then again neither does the Pioneer BDP-LX70 and it costs quite a lot more. With HD DVD on its last legs, it seems like a pretty good time to do a round up of some of the best and most interesting Blu-ray players...

Plasma perfection: the 42-inch flat-screen shootout

Reviews Pioneer's plasmas are expensive, but they've been the ones to beat on picture quality, and they don't look too bad either. Pioneer has been nothing if consistent in its plasma output, with a picture quality to die for.

All-in-one home cinema systems

Reviews If you want something more substantial, Pioneer's DCS-360 is one of the few systems that features floor-standing speakers. Sound is just as essential to enjoying a film as a decent display -- and there's no easier way of introducing surround sound...

DVD recorders with bonus features

Reviews The older kids on the block are the Pioneer DVR-520H and Philips' HDRW720. Of the two, Pioneer's box is better designed -- its editing features are as good as ever and the AV performance is pure gold.

Best TVs for deep contrast

Reviews Called a 'Kuro' TV -- translated from Japanese to mean 'black', of course -- the Pioneer PDP-428XD is designed to be as good at producing blacks as possible. With 1080p televisions becoming more and more common and other innovations like 100Hz, 24p...

Pioneer 2007 plasma TV line-up: Better blacks and 1080p

Crave Crave has always had a soft spot for Pioneer's plasma televisions -- they're a little more expensive than the competition, but the quality has always been some of the best about. With their 2007 range, Pioneer is concentrating on two areas: better...

Pioneer creates 400GB optical disc: Like 16 layers of Blu-ray

Crave Barely half a year after Blu-ray won the format war we're now being told that Pioneer is working on the next big thing, and when we say big, we really do mean it. If Pioneer managed to make consumer burners capable of creating these discs, it would...
