Good Fit For Cavernous-Sized Rooms
HDTVs with a diagonal screen size of 55 inches or larger, such as this model, are LCDs, plasmas, or DLPs, usually with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 (1080p). The optimum viewing distance for HDTV screens like these is generally considered to be about 9 to 10 feet, so this model is appropriately sized for very large, cavernous rooms.
Resolution Matches Blu-Ray Disc and HD Formats
All modern HDTVs are fixed-pixel displays. The number of pixels a display has determines its maximum resolution and thus the fineness of detail it can reproduce. Resolution is normally expressed as pixel width versus pixel height. This television's resolution is 1920 by 1080, meaning it has 1920 pixel columns by 1080 pixel rows. Popular for midrange and high-end HDTVs of all types, especially those with large screens, this resolution matches the 1080i maximum resolution for broadcast HDTV and 1080p Blu-ray Disc formats. A key characteristic of all fixed-pixel displays is that incoming signals not at the set's native resolution must be scaled to match that resolution. The quality of this mathematical upconversion or downconversion can significantly affect the picture, especially for ordinary standard-definition TV signals. Inferior scaling may soften the picture, exaggerate noise, or cause some edges to appear slightly jagged.
Plasma Display Technology
A plasma television, like this one, is built around an array of tiny glass cells filled with an inert gas. The panels are relatively thin and weigh more than similarly sized LCDs but much less than old-fashioned picture-tube sets. Plasma sets are capable of outstanding picture quality, with higher contrast than LCDs, and viewable from far off to the side without loss of brightness or color accuracy. Because plasma TVs can achieve a higher contrast than LCD TVs, they remain a good choice for a room that receives a lot of natural or ambient light. They tend to cost more than similar-size LCDs, however, and the technology is rarely found at screen sizes smaller than 42 inches. Although plasmas can be subject to burn-in--where a static image displayed for hours at a time becomes a permanent afterimage--this is now much less of a problem.
Supports Modern HD Inputs
HDTV sets now routinely have at least one HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) input, and usually two, three, or four. An HDMI connection carries digital video and, in many cases, audio from HD cable and satellite receivers, Blu-ray Disc players, and some DVD players and game consoles to the TV over a single cable. Because of their convenience and quality, HDMI connections, when they are available, are generally preferable to other types. Normally an HDTV set will also have two, or possibly three, component-video inputs as well. You can also expect your TV to have component video as well as one or two standard three-wire A/V inputs (composite video plus stereo audio), and one or two RF inputs for direct antenna or cable-TV input.
Access Your Media Files Via USB
Some HDTVs, such as this one, now have USB ports. These ports are typically used either to update the television’s software (firmware), or to access music and photo files from a USB flash drive. As HDTVs have become increasingly complex, so has their internal operating software, which means the update capability could be quite valuable. Likewise, it can be convenient and fun to scroll through your vacation images simply by jacking in a USB drive. The exact functions supported via the port may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer or from model to model, however, so check with the manufacturer before buying if you have a specific use in mind.

Strengths: Best picture quality. Black levels and contrast. Connectivity.
Weaknesses: Sensitivity of remote.
Overall: The Pioneer PDP-6010FD is one of the most amazing flat panel TVs available. The only worthy comparisons are other Pioneer Kuro TVs. I would recommend purchasing one of these to anyone in the market for a flat panel TV. The most important feature in a TV is picture quality. This is where the Pioneer excels. The contrast is the best available in a flat panel TV. When comparing this TV next to others, black images appear grey on the other TVs compared to the darkness of this set. Although the settings out of the box were not bad, the picture looks better after calibrating it. The colors look natural when properly adjusted. Viewing Blu-ray movies on the TV allows it show off the amazing picture. High definition content in general looks very good on the TV. Standard content, while no comparison to HD, looks good if you have a good source. Grainy videos look even worse when blown up on this TV. The picture looks good from any angle. The tuner works well and was able to pull in all the HD channels I expected to get. The built in TV Guide is a nice bonus, if you do not have satellite. Picture in Picture cannot pull both signals from the antenna input, limiting its usefulness. While the screen modes work for most cases, there is no way to zoom picture when a digital signal sends 16x9 image in a 4x3 box. The full or stretch mode works well but I prefer keeping the normal aspect ratio. The remote sometimes has to be pointed directly at the sensor for it to pickup commands. This is even more of a problem when using universal remotes. The Pioneer PDP-6010FD makes TV viewing better. HD looks even greater on this TV. I would recommend this TV to anyone in the market or as an upgrade to older HDTVs.

Strengths: Every Input and Output possible, Exceptional Color, Easy Set up, Makes Standard signal much better than I expected
Weaknesses: So far... NONE!
Overall: This Plasma display is without a doubt, the best on the market! I did 6 months of research on every LCDTV and Plasma display imaginable, before I came to the conclusion on this TV. The Black level is truely unmatched which makes the colors just "Pop" off the screen. Factory settings are great, but the fine tuning using the "ProAdjust" allows the user to adjust the picture to cater to any needs you may have. I normally would not write a review, but this Plasma Display is the Undisputed Champion, and I wanted to share that with all who are the market for a TV.

Overall: This is the best TV I have every seen. I would defiantly buy another Pioneer. The picture is just amazing. if you don't have room for the 60 in consider one of the smaller pioneers. I am really having trouble trying to get away from the screen to do other thing i need to do.

Strengths: Black levels like no other on the market in this price range.
Weaknesses: The wall mounts for this TV are wider than most TV's this size. Requires a newer model wall mount that costs about $270. However, when you spend this much on a TV, does it really matter?...
Overall: I've had my set for 4 days now. Watching football is absolutley amazing. I had a hard time pulling the trigger on this purchase (due to the price tag), but I'm glad I did. Our movie and Sports watching experience is phenomenal. The television looks beautiful on the wall...like a piece of art. Better than going to the movie theater! Make sure to have surround sound to truly enjoy the experience of the set.
