Pioneer PDP-5050HD versus PDP-504CMX

I purchased the PDP-5050HD from Circuit City and have 20 days left to see if I like it. I absolutely love it, but I have been told that the PDP-504CMX has the same performance and is less expensive.

Can someone please explain the differences and if they are 100% SURE the picture quality is the same. The 5050 has the best SD picture I have seen on a plasma.

Also, what video inputs does the 504 come standard with?

in the marker for the same pioneer...what did you pay at CC? thanks.

I paid their normal price, but I know when I go to take it back they will offer it to me very discounted.

the 504CMX is more in line with the 5040hd being both 4th generation panels. the 5050hd is a 5th generation elite with the same pq as the elite 1120hd.

Can you tell me the differences?

Is the 5050 worth the extra money?

The internet company that I bought my plasma from is selling the PDP-5050HD for $3899. Of course, I dont think theyre an authorized dealer for this model though. Why didnt you just buy the pdp5004c from costco ? I think its $4499

WOW ! What internet company is that? That price is fantastic....maybe TOO fantastic?

Thanks.

definitely too fantastic as dealer cost is around $4,400 - $4,800.

anyway the 5050-HD is the same panel as the 1120 less the following:
1.) gold plate connectors (ooh!)
2.) allows you to adjust the blue, green, and red seperately.
3.) additonal year of warranty
4.) the set is easier to calibrate than the 5050-HD do to some ISF flexibility.....not really an issue since the 5050-hd can be calibrated just the same by any experienced calibrator (if he is any good)

the difference in the 5050-hd and 1120 HD vs. the 5040HD and the 504cmx. is a new color filter that allows tv to achieve noticably better blacks.....and ace III vs. ace II....all in all about a 15% improvement in picture.

definitely too fantastic as dealer cost is around $4,400 - $4,800. Youre nutz. I was seeing a woman who worked for a distributor for Samsung and Sony. As an example, A Plasma that sold in the big stores like CC and Best Buy thats retailed $5000 cost her like $1800 straight from Samsung. I was all set to get the HP-P5031 for that price. We stopped seeing each other before I got my tax return and get an awesome deal.

By the way, I got my pdp-5004C cheaper than what Costco sells them for ($4300) . So I can vouch for this internet co. But had I known about Costco's great return policy , I wouldve bought it from them for more money.

Can you please tell me the internet company?

Obviously, there is NO internet company or he would've given us the name.

jsisler is right. The PDP5050HD is 5th generation. The PDP504CMX is 4th so they are different. I am sure the PDP505CMX will be out soon. Take the 5050 back you paid way to much. What is it $7000 there right, plus taxes. I will tell you were to go heard from a few friends in Cleveland about WWW.ClevelandPlasma.Com

Commercial PDP504CMX VS Consumer PDP5050HD... all depends on your needs. 504CMX is cheaper and will save you alot of money if you are running a surround sound and a audio video receiver. Are you wall mounting..buying the 5050 you are paying for a stand? The screen is almost the same but there are a lot of differences. To much to go into here.

If you need more info PM me I think I will be able to help you.

FYI monitoroutlet or tvauthority... both authorized online pio dealers and their price on the 5050 is over 2k less than CC, including S/H

Also check out Beyondplasma.com They are an authorized dealer, they quoted me $4799 delivered for the 5050 (to California). That was way below the local chain stores but is higher than the non-authorized internet sellers.

Try searching on bizrate.com and you will find many etailers selling the PDP-5050HD in that price range. I own the PDP-504CMX with an HD Xplorer video interface card and the results are astonishing! I bought from pricemad.com and I did not have any issues. Good Luck with your search.

I can vouch for Clevelandplasma.com I used his services for a 50" Pioneer and am very happy with the whole experience.

Well now there is the option of the Pioneer PDP-505CMX and the Pioneer PDP-5060HD.
