Pioneer PDP-4330HD Review
By
July 17th, 2003
Summary
Pioneer has been a leader in plasma screen performance for years. The PDP-4330HD is their 3rd-generation design, and the "progressive display" high-definition plasma panel in the 42-43" size. Imagine movies and sports in crystal-clear HDTV — viewed on an ultra-thin panel that can hang on the wall! (A separate HDTV tuner is required to receive HDTV broadcasts.) Pioneer is one of only a handful of companies that actually manufactures its own plasma panels. Pioneer's latest panels are based on their breakthrough True Matrix Imaging design, which delivers nearly 60% greater brightness than Pioneer's previous plasma displays. The key? Pioneer's "Deep-Encased Cell Structure," which increases phosphor surface area, prevents leakage of light from one cell to the next, and packs cells so densely that the finest image details look crisp, clear and vibrant (click "More Photos" above for a microscopic look at this breakthough design). DVD movies look spectacular on this TV, and HDTV programs will actually give you that jaw-dropping sensation of looking through a window!
