4.0 out of 5 stars Great picture and features, lacking customer support, September 7, 2005

First , let me tell that for its price and quality the product gets 5 stars !! Amazing picture quality and feature ( where else do you get to tweak individual RGB color values !!!) The constrast is awsome 4000:1 and its the latest in plasma generation as such a bargain ( I ended up buying slightly higher few week back, but still have no complaints).

The thing which I did not like was a less than steller customer support. For someone spending more than 2K on a TV, its not very happy experiance to spend any time on holds or get transferred here and there before getting the question answered.

I was given a Viore TV as a Christmas gift in 2005. Its model number was Viore PDP42V18HA. It worked perfectly and it had a stunning picture. The problems arise almost a year to the date it was bought. It was bought on black Friday. One week before Christmas it just shut off. I thought I had sit on the remote. When I figured out that it wasn't even in standby mode I knew something was wrong. I tried to find a reset button (nope), I tried letting it set for a couple hours thinking perhaps it had overheated (nope), so finally I took it to a TV repair shop. He just called today the power supply is bad. Of course Viore is in the clear cause their warranty is just for a year. The TV repair guy calls Viore and can't get a straight answer about who makes the parts, they say LG but he can't find a match with his supplier of LG parts. So now I am stuck, he says even if he finds the match it will be around $400 or so dollars with parts and labor to fix. My suggestion to anyone looking to buy a high def TV is to go ahead and save up the extra money and put it towards a name brand.

This is an awsome tv for the price. There are only few Plasma manufacturing plants in the world ( 12-13) and every plasma manufacturer gets their TV's from them. And I can tell this one looks every bit like the pioneer ones. The first day I hooked it up I simply was lost for an hour watching PBS HD streaming of a nature show. Can't wait to get my HD cable hooked up. Being a 5th Generation plasma, Its the best you can have.
