Time's Running Out On Pioneer HDTV's

This recession is putting a damper on everyone and everything. Business' closing, housing markets crashing, all are tightening their belts to get by. But when you take a company that arguably made THE best plasma on the planet and you take the plasma equation out of it, you know the economy is bad.

The Pioneer Elite PRO-151FD is a 60" Plasma HDTV that is years beyond the current plasma lineup as far as quality and picture. Every website you go to gives it 5 out of 5 stars and has nothing but good things to say about it. Probably the only bad thing that people have to say about it, other than the price, is that the energy rating isn't that great. But for those out buying a luxury car that end up with a Maserati, they know the quality they're getting as well as knowing the poor gas mileage.

I had a chance to sit down with Steve Giaquinto (one of our electronics salesmen), and ask him some questions on this TV.


Brian: I want to know what is so special about this Pioneer plasma HDTV. Why is it one of the most sought-after TV's on the market right now?

Steve: It's one of the most sought after TV's because of it's overall quality. The black levels it's capable of producing and the color accuracy far exceed any plasma on the market. It has the darkest shade of black which shows off the most detail that is possible. It has one of the clearest pictures I've ever seen. It is without a doubt 2 or 3 years advanced over any other plasma on the market.

B: Why is Pioneer dropping out of the HDTV biz and leaving the top spot in the plasma category?

S: They didn't want to put out a product that they weren't going to be proud of. With the economy the way it is it was putting a damper on sales because people couldn't afford the panels. Cost-wise it wasn't what they wanted to continue doing.

B: The price tag is a little high. If I was a consumer and HAD that kind of money, what can I expect from this TV?

S: This panel will exceed all expectations you have in any TV. It has flawless color balance and again, has the blackest blacks. The sheer detail and picture quality this TV has will win you over instantly. It has near-flawless motion and probably the best skin tone color that I've ever seen in any flat panel. Just the picture quality alone is enough to make it number 1.

B: What are the installation options?

S: Like any other flat panel it is wall mountable and has a stand as well. It also has detachable speakers and a subwoofer "out" so you can keep the speakers plugged in and just run a subwoofer if you want. In my opinion the speakers actually sound really good on this TV.

B: How many of these do you have in stock and do you anticipate these sticking around for a while?

S: We have 8 in stock right now at $6499. There have been some quotes written so these TV's are of interest to people. I don't anticipate them sticking around too long. Because the brand is dropping the line it is making the TV more valuable than ever so people are definitely searching for this.

B: What would you recommend a consumer purchase with this to get the maximum performance from this TV?

S: Well if you want to get the best TV on the market I'd suggest getting the best cables. The best HDMI cable will only help enhance the picture quality making it look even better. I would also recommend the best surge protector/conditioner. It would only ruin the customer's day to get home with a $6500 TV and have a power surge without having it properly plugged in.


So it's an end of a legacy, but the TV's are still here although there are limited quantities. If you want to learn more on this TV come down and talk to one of our knowledgeable electronics salesmen. They know the insides and outs of these TV's and let me, tell you, Steve taught me things I didn't know about these TV's and it only took 10 minutes.

If you are interested in one of these panels give us a call at 508-755-5269 and put one on hold today.

Take care,

-Brian
