Pioneer PDP-LX6090: "ninth plasma" (review) New Pioneer always cause genuine interest from professionals as well as among ordinary buyers. New Pioneer always cause genuine interest from professionals as well as among ordinary buyers. The reason is simple - each new generation of plasma televisions shows amazing possibilities, even in cases where the limit is perfect, seemingly has been made. The reason is simple - each new generation of plasma televisions shows amazing possibilities, even in cases where the limit is perfect, seemingly has been made. So happened this year. So happened this year. The new, ninth generation plasma from Pioneer, as represented in Russia at the exhibition HDI Show 2008, it became yet another breakthrough and certainly has every right to claim the title of master ploskopanelnogo :rotfl: TV this year. The new, ninth generation plasma from Pioneer, as represented in Russia at the exhibition HDI Show 2008, it became yet another breakthrough and certainly has every right to claim the title of master ploskopanelnogo TV this year.
Technology So, what happened to the plasma television KURO since the issuance of the eighth generation plasma? Strangely enough, all the key changes can be described as one sentence: improved quality display in black. At first glance, the contrast and a wide range of high quality work on black - is indeed important, but not the only summand good image. However, Pioneer televisions last three-four years had no problems with the quality of color. Improve mainly noise reduction algorithms, scalability, and an ever-increasing their level of contrast panels. In 2007, the first breakthrough occurred in the form of tangible growth in the level of contrast. The picture has become an astonishing level of slitnosti :rotfl:, clarity and purity.
Each time a company Pioneer produces regular line of plasma panels, it seems that technology has come to its limits The generation of this year, according to the manufacturer, has a level of contrast, five times more than last year (!!!). On the other fundamental developments concerning image quality, in press releases were reported. Of those same sources suggest that such a high rate achieved by improving the application of 8 - a series of technology forced reduction of brightness cells in idle mode, that is displaying black. Why is it necessary? The fact is that the high contrast provides not only worked deep black, but also contributes the most realistic transfer of the remaining colors. A degree black "switched off" pixels, displaying black, will determine the extent and vivid detail will be reproduced dark episodes.
The main objective of developers - to make a "switched off" as soon as possible pixel black
The first news of the ninth generation appeared even before the issuance of the television sets themselves, and not too pleased those who planned to confine 42-inch diagonal TV. According to information from reliable sources, plasma screens that size would not be made. Apparently, the wait is worth only 50 - and 60 - inch model. Thus, the company Pioneer retreated one step under growing pressure vshir LCD displays. Although, according to some sources, the Pioneer will soon begin production of LCD TVs, and are then waiver of 42 - inch plasma would be acquitted.

The item before us 60 - inch model is presented in two versions: PDP-LX6090 and PDP-LX6090H. They differ format digital tuner built. A model with an index of H is able to take digital signal, not only in SD, but in HD-solving. Given the high degree of uncertainty, everything that relates to the future format for broadcasting digital broadcasting in the territory of Russia, for us between these two models there is no principled difference.
One of the major functional enhancements in the new television - technology support DLNA, to connect a TV to a computer network and play audio, video and fotofayly directly from the home server or personal computer hard disk. DLNA certification begins today to recruit popularity among manufacturers of home entertainment electronics, so that there is excellent Pioneer process stock for the future. Obviously, the benefits of network integration of audio and video devices over time will benefit many, as holders of new televisions Pioneer will be among those who will be able to learn a new way to play mediakontenta now.
The construction and design
Constructive changes, we noticed a bit, but there are some positive points. Thus, building televisions across "pohudel" by 20% on the previous generation models. Now the total thickness of the device is only 9.4 cm Other constructive change very design - the front panel only gone there to attend earlier button (inclusion). Now frame of the screen completely free from any functional elements. The rest of the same old design exposure, so that televisions 8 - go and 9 - the first generation is difficult to distinguish from each other.
A TV Pioneer PDP-LX6090H built TV tuner little that the digital, but also "vysokochetky" In both cases, screen massive thick frame surrounds the screen, devoid of any unnecessary details. Deviation from the strict rectangular forms that television is as alien as a color other than black. Pioneer PDP-LX6090 executed the same noble Japanese minimalism as his predecessors. Thanks to this versatile and it fits perfectly in almost any interior.
Management
A panel sample DU in 2008 differs slightly from past models. Sam corpus it fundamentally has not changed, but the buttons took a different view. Buttons become clear rectangular shape and not less than specifically identified the brink. Pyatipozitsionny rubberized joystick left in the past have given way to silver ring with quatre OK button in the middle. There was some perebrasyvanie working areas on the surface of the remote, but it retained its versatility and ability to work with different types of devices.
New remote distantsionki (top) smaller and more convenient to work
The most interesting options in the menu can be called a system calibration images with ISF C3, allowing manually adjust the picture for specific viewing conditions, and the regime Optimum Mode. The latter, in essence, produces the same optimizing images, but steadily, in real time. It is gratifying that even in such a complex setup for the user manual offered as well as automatic modes.
Picture
As for any Full HD panel large for the Pioneer PDP-LX6090 the only appropriate source of the signal remains Blu-ray player. In our case, and the obvious model - of course Pioneer BDP-LX70A. What can we say about the picture, which gives this link? At first glance it fully repeats what we saw earlier in the year 608 - a model. The same exact colour and rich, image, whole, together, to truly vysokochetkoe.
Menu management changed slightly Stock on the brightness well enough to work in bright light, but the limits of regulation simply stunning contrast. And even values close to the maximum, do not give any losses in depth and completeness of work of dark plots. A more detailed consideration it becomes apparent what advantage 9 - the first generation before 8 - m. All episodes have been dark prorisovyvatsya :rotfl: with even greater precision and depth. Contemporary black and white film, with its huge range of gradations of gray reproduced flawlessly. The black stripe on large films indistinguishable in any coverage and adequate in all settings. Thanks to greater intensity in black, all colored objects on a dark background became more realistic and natural look. Tangible 3D-noticeable effect not only on maloosveschennyh :rotfl: sites, but on the bright objects in a dark background.
Dark scenes demonstrate very good opportunities televisions
The most murderous visualization tools for test - shows the bright objects on a dark background, contrasting night shooting and the like. Here Pioneer PDP-LX6090 shown himself with the best side. The most striking outbreak did not violate naturalness is a black background and do not lose detail and liveliness. On the contrary, the profound blackness fills their lives as if everything that happens on its background. In short, the advantages seen in separate episodes, but without them is not practically no modern film. Every moment of dark or contrast on the screen confirms that there is no limit improve visualization of plasma technology. Undoubtedly, Pioneer has once again surpassed himself, that there can not please all fans of high-quality video.
SoundAudiosposobnosti Pioneer PDP-LX6090 worthy of any modern TV premium class. The menu has a choice of special regimes sound-oriented genre-play audio. There are dynamic, kinoteatralny, sports, games and standard modes. The system SRS WOW, excellent tested in previous versions of televisions Pioneer, the new implementation was called SRS WOW HD, that clearly shows its sound "talents".
Acoustics TV perfect, but still watch a movie with better acoustics kit kinoteatralnoy 5.1
Nevertheless, we believe that screens with high quality pictures and a diagonal of 50 inches and above worthy of a good external audio. Otherwise, when watching a movie good half of it planted in effect would simply not seen and did not make a proper impression. It seems that the same opinion of the developers televisions Pioneer, because the acoustics at the TV Pioneer PDP-LX6090 removable. Submitted by it, by the way, in two types - belt on the sides of the screen or below it.
Total
To summarize our first acquaintance with new plasma Pioneer, you can safely say that not all traditional technology resources have been exhausted before the end, although we had the impression that limit the improvement of plasma panels of this type have already practically achieved. Beware sunset technology, certainly not worth it. Presented at the 2008 HDI SHOW sverhploskoy prototype of the new panel has a realistic and forward-looking design, and we are confident that this is not the only trump card in the sleeve of plasma manufacturers.
The company Pioneer with the new ruler again surpassed itself: TV 9 - Series show even better than 8 - th
Speaking on the same day today, note fact: TV Pioneer 9 - the first generation really visibly different from earlier the better and can once again claim the title of the best samples of technology. The cost of new models of television companies are usually not too much different from last year. So the question of whether to wait for the emergence of stalls shops Seri H09, is defined exit date only ruler in our market. If you have patience, is to use them - a reward would be generous.
Major pluses:
* Highest quality images;
* Universal design;
* Convenient remote control.
The main disadvantages:
* Impractical glossy cover the hull.
