I am considering purchasing a Pioneer 6020 Kuro. I currently have a calibrated Pioneer Elite 630hdi 58in RP. The sources would be comcast cable HD, Toshiba HD DVD, and am most likely Oppo 83 BR when released. My setup is in my family room with moderately controlled light.

I have a few questions if anyone can answer.

1. Reflections? I have the protective screen removed on my current tv. I do remember when I had the AR coated protective screen on I still could see some relections. How does the reflections compare between a kuro and the ar coated protective screen on my rear projection tv?

2. Light control? I have been reading the kuro is best suited for a light controlled room. If I am content with my current RP in this room will the 6020 be as good or better in light output?

3. Improvements? I am assuming by the reviews on the 6020 that this would be a step up in PQ. When I bought my 630hd set it was one of if the top displays available. I have been very happy overall with the pq. What improvements would I see, and are there any possible negitives when compared to a calibrated elite rp.

4. Calibration? From what I can gather most feel a calibrated non elite will be very close in pq to a calibrated elite. What pq areas are improved with calibration? I will most likely get the 6020 calibrated. I am in central virginia and I believe I am close to D-Nice, who seems to be very highly regarded. I would most likely contact him to calibrate.

5. Break-in? I am aware there is a posted break-in procedure and recommended settings by D-Nice. If I am planning on getting the set calibrated, would I need to follow this procedure or just get break-in with normal viewing varing content.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Barry

Thanks,

I have read a lot of info (not sure all) in these threads, but did not find any answers to most of my questions in regards to comparing 6020 to 630hd rp for reflections, light output, and pq differences. If anyone has gone from a calibrated RP, especially a pioneer to the 6020 I would like any input they have.

Thanks,
Barry
