All over the world...
Right got a bit of a dilemma...originally last week i had placed an order for the Panasonic 43" plasma for my front room...was expecting delivery this week as the place i got it from is out of stock at the moment.

Anyhow got a call from my uncle who owns a 50" Pioneer Plasma...basically hes getting shot of it as hes replacing it with the 60" pioneer plasma...the place hes getting it from have offered £1500 for a trade in but seeing as i know my stuff and just recently got him to ***** £2k on a reference Pioneer blu ray player...hes the type that will buy the most expensive stuff even if its rubbish:p...so hes offered me the Pioneer for £1500...he said he would rather i have it...only problem is that i think its gonna look a bit silly in my front room but come on its a PIONEER FOR GODS SAKE!!!!...thats what my mind is telling me lol.

Anyhow its a couple of yrs old but has hardly been used...i know what hes like and he really looks after his stuff...in fact the said plasma has been covered in a cover for a good while...ive seen it in action and it looks brilliant...really nice set.

Anyhow just wanted some advice as to what to do....he wants £1500 for the plasma...its a Pioneer PDP 5000EX...thats the model number hes given me...still sells for over £2k but dont know how good it is compared to the plasmas these days....plus ill probably get him to knock it down in price ie something like £1000.

So what do you all think...do you think its worth it...i know Pioneers have a very good rep in the plasma market although they have stopped making them...its still got 3 yrs warranty on it too..

So lets see what you lot have to say about it.
 
Hmmm thanks guys...i had a look at the specs and it seemed pretty good..full hd 1080p etc....but it seems that its not the kuro that i thought it was.

Oh well guess il scrap that idea then plus its not going to look any good in my front room the more i think about it...looks like ill just end up getting the panasonic plasma when they come into stock.

Cheers guys.
 
Get a Pioneer Kuro PDP-LX5090 you know you want to:D.

Haha id love to but sadly it wouldnt look good in my front room...50" would be far too massive im afraid...i think the best im gonna get in there is about 42" which was what i was originally planning to do.

I have a 32" LCD in there now and i sit about 5-6ft away from it so i think a 50" would be massive overkill.

Thanks guys...i rung him this morning and told him the bad news lol...said no problem...hes got some guy whos coming round tonight whos interested in the plasma so looks like its no big loss to him...£1500 is a damn good price if he gets it for a used pioneer.
