Now, I don't wanna make you worry, but is that glass really strong enough to hold a 130lb plamsa? To me, that glass doesn't look like it has much support, and if you have too much weight in the center, the glass could shatter and you'd end up with a $4000 piece of broken electronics. Glass has no "give", it doesn't bend like wood can, it just breaks, that's why you don't see too many floors made out of it.

The top plate of the stand looks like double thickness tempered glass. It should work fine - the manufacturer should state the weight bearing capacity in their literature. I would check that figure.

This is a warning about the Avdeco line of plasma and TV stands.
Last fall I purchased an Avedeco HR420 TV stand for my bedroom. This stand runs about $1000, so it is definately not cheap. One of the reasons I chose this stand was that the top shelf had a "stated" capacity of 250lbs. Since I was putting my Panasonic 50PX500U Plasma on it, I wanted to make sure it was solid. Since the Panny was only 114lbs, I figured I had plenty of support for it.
All was fine for many months, and then, just last month, I happened to be sitting in the next room, when I heard a tremendous crash. I thought that a plane had hit my house, and I ran into my bedroom to see what happened.
The top shelf of the Avdeco stand EXPLODED sending shards of glass to every corner of my bedroom. Fortunately for me, I wasn't sleeping at the time, or I would have been hit by flying glass.
Amazingly, my plasma tv, fell straight down, and was resting precariously on the next two shelves. I quickly called my wife in to help me lift it off and to the ground. It is really a miracle that the plasma didn't fall over on its face.
For the last several weeks, I have been calling and e-mailing Avdeco Inc, and the online dealer Threshold Concepts, but have recieved no response, either via e-mail or phone call. It is obvious that both the dealer, and the manufacturer is not interested in any repeat business, or taking care of the customer. I am left with a useless tv stand and am out $1000.
Anyone considering purchasing one of these stands, even a different model, I would strongly caution you to consider a different manufacturer.

Lots of people getting their 6020's... does anyone have a confirmed delivery date for their 5020 yet?
I'm probably going to order one on Monday, and I'm wondering if I can have it in house by the the weekend.

Good Afternoon,
I was planning on buying a Panasonic 65PZ750 when my dealer told me he just received his order of Kuros, so home I came with a PDP-6020FD. Spent all afternoon and evening Saturday hanging an Omnimount wall bracket and getting the panel up on the wall...
Anyway, I started playing with the set this morning, and when I got to the sound menu and started adjusting things, I found that the left side of the speaker bar only emits a little bit of high frequency range, like that of a tweeter, while the right side sounds perfect and full range. Not sure if it was the speaker bar or the tv's audio output amp, I flipped the right and left speaker leads to the back of the tv. Right side sounds fine either way; left side always sounds bad, so I believe the speaker itself is the culprit, with a bad driver on the left side.
Or, am I mistaken, and is this new 6020 series speaker bar really a single channel speaker with the left and right feeds driving low and high frequency sections separately to give some sort of effect?
Can another owner go into their sound menu, and while playing an active channel, fade between the right and left side and see if there's any difference?
Anyone ever have a similar problem with a 6010? Will Pioneer just ship me a new speaker rather than having to haul the whole thing back?
Thanks
Botcher.

How would you identify stuck pixels on the screen?

Stands made out of wood are a much better choice in my opinion, because the wood will have a lot more give to it. It's what I've always used for my +150lb CRTs.

I would 'assume' the 2.0 would allow me to update Firmware for the Blu-ray itself ... but would it also allow me to update Firmware for a connected Pioneer Receiver and Display?

What's up with this thread? Nobody has their 6020's yet? This thread should not have been started until the owners had reviews/pics to post.

I realize I am in the few to have such luck with stuck pixels. And yes- I do count five. Not a cluster but they are there. Pioneer sent someone out. They gave me a disc to run. I tried. It did nothing. I called Pioneer back and they told me the set was within spec. I pleaded with the support woman- who was actually quite rude and she would not budge an inch no matter how much I complained. I was very surprised by the treatment I got. I expected more from Pioneer. I didn't want my money back- just a replacement.
If I had bought from BB or Circuit City I think I would have had better luck getting an exchange. Buying online- I got a great price- but I also got stuck. (pun intended)
Anyway- it's been a year. And it's still a fantastic television.
I would still consider Pioneer in the future- just would not buy online.

Considering there are a very limited number of real owners yet (and at that of only the 6020) and most of them aren't on the AVS forum, maybe you can just relax and be patient. If you don't like this thread, no one's making you read it.

Please provide your basic subjective experience FWIW.
The buzzing was a deal breaker for many here on the 8G's.
The buzzing did not bother most people, or was not present at a noticeable level on most units it seems, but the number of people who it did impact the viewing experience was not insignificant.
There will be some noise out of back of set. Nobody really cares about this.
This is not really what the problem is.
Then there may be some hum/buzzing out of the front panel. This is what bothered some people in some environments.
For most people it was directional (you could only really hear it if you sat at eye level in front of set). It could be heard up to 15 feet or so for most people in a quiet room.
For some people (me) it was diffuse as well as directional. I could hear it as the picture brightness changed from over 20 feet away anywhere in the room.
As for how loud is an issue-this is obviously subjective.
I could hear it pretty easily if the volume was low and there was not other ambient noise present (heater or AC). For example, if watching a newscast at low volume or any source at no volume, it could be heard by everyone who came to my house without any real effort.
If the volume was turned up in any source, though, it was not really audible.
Thanks for your input.
My first reaction to you acknowledging that there is buzzing is that it is the same as the 8G's. Likely not an issue for most people.
