Pioneer PDP-504CMX Plasma TV Review

What makes this set so unique is Pioneer’s two-stage system that produces the best image possible. The first is PURE Drive digital image processing and a special high-def panel called the True XGA PURE panel.

The PURE Drive circuitry enables the Pioneer PDP-504CMX 50 to keep a lossless digital signal path all the way from input to output. This results in minimal noise and signal deterioration from converting the signal to analog from digital. In addition noise and picture artifacts are further reduced thanks to Pioneer’s Digital Noise Reduction and MPEG NR technology, so that your pure input source is all you get.

Specialized circuitry isn’t the only innovation behind the Pioneer PDP-504CMX 50 plasma TV. The new PURE plasma panel by Pioneer delivers both better color balance and grayscale performance as opposed to prior models. Its exceptional performance is achieved through its Deep Encased Cell Structure design. This specialized design bumps up the panel’s brightness to 1,000cd/m2, which is brighter than any plasma TV on the market today.

Adding to the PURE panel’s effectiveness is the improved Pure Color Filter II. This glass panel reduces reflection and glare on the Pioneer PDP-504CMX 50, while making color tones more consistent throughout the entire picture.

What really sets the Pioneer PDP-504CMX 50 apart from the competition is the color integrity, which is achieved through the ACE II (Advanced Continuous Emission). The ACE II processes basic color elements of the input signal and removes false contouring, which is a problem that exists with inferior plasma displays. This allows the display to reproduce over a billion colors, which makes for an incredibly smooth and defined picture.
Using the Pioneer PDP-504CMX 50 in a display for a trade-show or presentation creates a dynamic look with the 2 X 2 Matrix technology. This enables users to connect four displays in a 2 X 2 configuration without the need for expansion devices. With Matrix two modes become available. Normal mode enlarges the picture elements while preserving the whole picture and Adjusted mode enlarges the image as a whole, which causes the lines between the monitors to become filled in.

The PDP-504CMX 50 is simple to set up with the intuitive graphic interface and auto-setup feature. All of the commands you need to run the system are at your fingertips with the new remote control that comes with the TV.

Sound is just as important in a plasma display as picture and the Pioneer PDP-504CMX 50 comes equipped with a built-in 7WX2 stereo amplifier that produces good stereo sound with the optional side-mounted speakers.

If there’s one problem that’s plagued many plasma televisions since they hit the market it’s screen burn. Screen burn occurs when a static image remains on the screen for too long a period and leaves a ‘ghost’ of itself on the display. But the PDP-504CMX 50 helps to eliminate this problem by using a pixel orbiter when static images are on screen. This orbiter can’t bee seen by the viewer, but does help to eliminate the possibility of screen burn, which can ruin an expensive system.

Another innovative feature included with the PDP-504CMX 50 is the built in light sensor that monitors ambient light sources and makes adjustments to the plasma display’s brightness. This not only helps to extend the life of the display, but also reduces the power consumption, making it one of the most efficient units in the industrial sector.
