Hello, the search functin wasn't working for me so I thought i'd just post.


(Pioneer PDP-5020FD)

I was reading a review about the above tv and it was talking about how it lacks advanced picture controls?

I was curious about this....just how advanced, what options are lacking?


Also would you take this over th Samsung 650 model?

I think it means color management. I could be wrong though.

The 9G, non-Elite Pioneers have very few picture controls.

Advanced picture controls/tweaks may be lacking - but its superior PQ certainly makes up for it.


You can also use ControlCAL to make a few adjustments in the service menu to make this set even more pleasing.


Check out the plethora of information regarding this in the 9G NE thread.
