Our review partner Digital Trends tested the Pioneer Elite Kuro Pro-111FD 50 inch Plasma. This high-end Plasma gained the Digital Trends Editor's Choice Award with quote: "There’s no question that the Pioneer Elite Kuro Pro-111FD is a new benchmark for plasma HDTVs—picture quality is that good."

Quote from the full review: "We get bleary-eyed checking out all the new HDTVs. Bigger, better and cheaper are this year’s watchwords in a nutshell.

Consistently rated by everyone with 20/20 vision as the best available, we couldn’t wait to put the new Elite Pro-111FD through its paces. Although wonderful, though, one huge drawback for the product family is the simple fact that featured selections are wildly-expensive compared to plasma market-share leader Panasonic’s offerings."
