CNET Review
The Good: Produces the deepest black levels of any large-screen display we've tested; extremely accurate color points and color temperature; superb antireflective screen; 72Hz refresh mode works well with 1080p/24 sources; Pure picture mode delivers superior settings out of the box; extensive picture controls; excellent connectivity, including 4 HDMI and one PC input; styling that's all business.
The Bad: Extremely expensive; mediocre standard-definition processing.
The Bottom Line: The Pioneer Elite PRO-111FD represents the pinnacle of flat-panel HDTV picture quality.
