What the manufacturer says:
The Pioneer PDP-5070HD 50-inch high-definition plasma television offers the most advanced panel technology, video processing features and convenience options for recreating the home theater experience. The redesigned deep encased cell structure improves brightness, image accuracy and panel efficiency. The new first-surface pure color filter enhances contrast, color and reduces in light reflection on screen.

CNET Review:
The good: Accurate color decoding; can reproduce deep blacks; solid video processing; comprehensive connectivity, including two HDMI, three component-video; and a PC input; excellent feature package with picture-in-picture, CableCard, and TV Guide onscreen program guide.
The bad: Expensive; inaccurate green color.
The bottom line: Pioneer's PDP-5070HD 50-inch plasma sets a benchmark for flat-panel performance and is well worth the premium price for people who take video quality seriously.

Digital Trends review:
There really is not a lot of negative things to say about the PDP-5070HD. While the MRSP of around $4000 seems rather high, you should be able to find it for under $3000 at most retailers. If 1080P is something that’s important to you, then you might want to opt for the Elite (model ) instead, just be ready to spend more money of course. The PDP-5070HD might not have a ton of fancy features, but it definitely gets the job done and puts your money where it’s important – in the picture.
Pros:
• Good picture color and accuracy
• Plenty of inputs
• HDTV tuner gets great reception
• Customizable user settings
Cons:
• Lackluster design
• Boring stand included
