Does the cable between tuner and screen also carry power for the screen, and is it replaceable or extendable to a decent distance? (if cutting a channel in a wall, its nice if its a replaceable)
I have thought they should separate the box for a while on all the screens, scart leads etc are so ugly and thick
Have to admit that the price doesn't seem too extortionate for a Pioneer TV. If I were in the market for a new one now, this would be it.
I bought Pioneer in 2002 (my first Plasma) but in Nov 07 when I upgraded they were simply stupidly expensive and only fractionally better. So I bought a Panasonic and saved over £1,500. Now that saving almost buys me their latest and greatest, not bad at all.
For most people though the panny's would still be the best option. Excellent picture quality, look great straight out of the box and practically half price.

Prices tend not to rise in country's that are heading for recession, apart from that, the UK has a lot of fluff attached to it's prices atm, the devaluing of pound will most likely eat into that first. eg. When goods were selling for say $1000, it was £1000 here, and this was when 1£=$2, as you can see there is a bit more fluff to go yet.
I'd agree AJ. I've had a Panasonic TH-50PZ70 for ten months and have to say it's been excellent. That said, it's been passed on to my parents whose ten year old 28" 4:3 CRT died two months ago.
Since then I've been thinking about getting the KRP-500A. The KURO black levels are what I'd really like so I was just waiting to see how prices might be affected after Christmas. From all the reports going on I expect that the 'sales' will be very short lived (possibly over by 1st January) so I may just get one of these in the next two weeks.
I've read that this TV suffers from a louder than normal 'buzz' from either the display or the media box and that many of the recent units have suffered from dead pixels or sub-pixels. Can John (or anybody else) confirm whether these problems were evident with the test unit?
I bought the big brother to this TV the 600 KRPa about 6 weeks ago and its pixel perfect and i dont notice any buzzing. My PS3, Virgin V+ box and HTPC are louder.
maybe i got an older batch that were better but it is a mind blowing telly
if you have the dosh go for it and if u buy online u can send it back if u have probs
Bought the KRP-500A just before Christmas and am blown away, no buzz on mine and a stunning picture. This is my first Pioneer TV and I could never go back
