Amazon.com Product Description

The Pioneer SD582HD5 58-inch rear-projection TV can display up to 1,080 lines when combined with a High Definition TV tuner and broadcast source. It offers dual-scan capability, which automatically detects the input format and displays that information in either 31.5 or 33.75 kHz. You have the option of using one of the two included tuners for multiple picture displays so you can watch more than one show at a time. The SD582HD5 offers five NTSC display modes: natural wide, zoom, cinema wide, normal (4:3), and full screen. You can hook the TV up to an external home theater audio system using either the rear audio-video or S-Video inputs. The unit comes with a 1 year parts and labor warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome picture, August 16, 2001

By	M. Schill (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have the SD-532-HD5 (same thing in 53") since 8 months now. After spending many hours in stores I decided for the Pioneer for the following reasons:

- Pioneer appeared to have the best picture by far as well as the least intrusive design.

- Sony is too expensive for a comparable model.

- Mitsubishi seemed to have some weird trailing images on fast movement.

After watching countless DVDs I still give it five stars even after a tube had to be replaced because of a slight green trail on fast moving images, which developed over time. Pioneer customer support was great though, replaced the tube and fixed the problem with no hassle.

Really cool is the ability to correct convergence on a grid independently everywhere on the screen. No more convergence problems ever.

I was also able to program my entire video/DVD/stereo devices to the remote control that comes with it.

With a RGB to component video converter (appr. [price]) and PowerStrip software I am able to connect a computer and display interlaced 1920x1080 resolution images in great quality. It's awesome for computer games.

5.0 out of 5 stars The leader, March 14, 2001

By A Customer

Pioneer, although not sold in many outlets, is still the leader in the field of projection tv. The quality and innovation is second to none. Pioneer has always been ahead of the others when it comes to new ideas and putting in the right parts regardless of cost. The first when it came to theatre format,and first to offer zoom to fill your screen while playing letterbox, so avoiding the annoying black bands at top and bottom of your screen. Some complain about lack of black, I don't find this a problem. See one for yourself and then decide. I'm sure you'll agree there is no equal in this type of set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mitsubishi, Sony? Don't make that mistake!, March 23, 2002

By	Scotty (Bellflower, CA. United States) - See all my reviews

I have owned this TV for almost a year now and just recently added the RCA DTC100 (HDTV Reciever) to my system, WoW! You can't do better then Pioneer tv's. Recently I had a visitor to my home and he said "Why is your picture so awsome?". This person spent...more then I did on a Mitsubishi HDTV needless to say he was VERY upset. If you have the chance, BUY ONE! You will not be disapointed...I have had great success with my game console (sony) To bad Pioneer does not make one.
