Pioneer's pandemic passion

If anyone passionately believes in HDTV, it's Pioneer. They rave about their televisions the way new parents glow over a new baby. Just listen to them talk about the world their plasmas create: "It's a world built on uncompromising attention to detail in an extraordinary, beautiful new way. Where black levels are so black, they disappear into an infinite abyss. Where colors are so pure, they gush with their own emotions. Where emotions are built with feelings so deep. . .tears fall like lead, fear flows like wildfire and passions swell with the rising tide. It's a world so intense, so rich, so real, it will change the way you look at TV forever." That sounds like the enraptured ranting of Love, doesn't it? We think you'll feel much the same way.

Pioneer's world takes you away

Leave your work-a-day life for a moment. Forget the confusion of the dirty dishes, the crumpled laundry, the dog's recently consumed tennis ball. Instead, enter a world dedicated to the pursuit of pristine vision and flawless sound. A place where you can sit down any time of day and the television will automatically compensate for the amount of light in the room. Where an unbelievably smooth and accurate Smooth Film Motion Mode will sync perfectly with incoming movies, eliminating judder. A land filled with gorgeous upscaling up to 1080p, making even your dullest videos shine in new ways. And, a world where streaming HD movies, music, and digital photos from a networked PC to your TV are so effortless they become part of your everyday life, thanks to the Home Media Gallery feature. The yardwork, gas prices, and dirty diapers will seem to disappear beside the glory of your Elite® KURO PRO-151FD. . . . And you will be happy to immerse yourself in the fever-like vision of Pioneer.

Entertainment dream

Sports. Movies. Sitcoms. Yes, even reality shows. They all look phenomenally great on this 60" widescreen, high definition plasma TV. And for good reason — the PRO151FD is crammed with the latest in technology — it's more than up to handling today's (and tomorrow's) many exciting audio/video formats. This set has all the connections you need to hook up just about anything — DVD player, VCR, satellite receiver, TiVo unit, even your computer. A new cell structure with an improved crystal emissive layer was redesigned for a more intense black with added detail, while a new filter delivers enhanced contrast in bright environments. ASIC video processing and scaling gives you the ultimate in standard definition and high definition video performance. Detachable side speakers with integrated digital amplifiers offer improved clarity and accuracy of sound.

A rich experience

The PRO-151FD delivers the ultimate in entertainment. Optimum Video Mode with an optical light sensor gives automated adjustment of picture in both varying light conditions and by program content such as movies, news, sports, etc. A Room Light Sensor reads the amount of light in your room, so the PRO-151FD can adjust to suit the conditions. Fully integrated ATSC and Dual NTSC tuners let you peruse your favorite channels without having to hook up an external tuner box. There's even a Home Media Gallery that offers a convenient way to view your digital photos via the USB connection.

Advanced PureCinema: Finally, less math!

Film doesn't translate directly to a format that a TV can process. To display film on television, usually 6 frames per second (fps) must be added to the film's original 24 fps to equal 30 fps, the video format. Called 3:2 pulldown, this interpolation process improves NTSC reproduction of film-based material, but generates uneven motion known as judder. Pioneer developed Advanced Pure Cinema to eliminate judder. This exclusive technology enables 3:3 pulldown, which synchronizes perfectly the frame rate of film and eliminates the need for interpolations. Now, your film-based material on DVD, videotape, and regular TV will match the smooth, natural reproduction of film.

Many modes to mold your movies

These days, entertainment comes in many forms, and the PRO151FD helps you enjoy each form to its fullest. A/V Selection Memory gives you nine options for viewing preferences. There's Optimum, Performance, Movie, Sports, PURE, Game, Standard, ISF-day, ISF-night, ISF auto (PC Input: only Standard and User). You have aspect ratio control (Wide, Zoom, Cinema, Full and 4:3) Picture Detail settings include DRE Picture (Off, High, Mid, Low), Black Level (Off/On), ACL (Off/On), Enhance Mode (1, 2, 3) and Gamma (1, 2, 3). The PRO151FD includes 3 color temperature adjustments, 3 digital noise reduction settings, block noise reduction, and mosquito noise reduction, among other adjustments that give you just the picture you're looking for.

Deep encased cell structure

Pioneer's deep encased cell structure means that each individual pixel in the PRO151FD's display is encased in its own cell, with walls on all sides so that light doesn't bleed into neighboring cells. Complete with an ENERGY STAR®, this energy-saving design allows each pixel to deliver a more concentrated beam of light, for truer colors and brighter images. The clear front suface of the PRO151FD's display is actually a precisely manufactured optical-grade, non-glass color filter bonded directly to the plasma panel. This filter increases the spectrum of light emitted by the plasma, for a fuller range of colors and exceptional color accuracy compared to front filters made of glass. It's also much lighter than a glass filter and increases contrast by limiting ambient light reflections in bright viewing environments.

Don't forget the cables!

If you are using an HDTV, a receiver, or anything else that is capable of sending a high definition signal, don't forget to purchase the right cables. Many people don't realize what a significant difference the right cables make, and when they get their new high definition equipment home, they think the equipment itself is to blame when the picture isn't as good as it should be. This is because most components (Blu-ray, receivers, etc) don't come with cables, so people often use whatever they have around the house, or buy cheap cables, thinking "it will do." Another reason people don't buy the right cables is because trying to figure out which cables you need can be daunting, and it?s hard to know where to start. Our sales representatives are there to explain all your options, so you can make the best purchase and get the most out of your new PRO-151FD.
