Pioneer Krp500a (Carpe Diem)

[admin_exported]

Having procrastinated about buying a Pioneer Krp500a for far too long, I can't find one anywhere. Any suggestions as to whwere I might get one or, if I have missed the boat, which plasmas are the (second) best alternative?

Dont think you'll find one now, but there's still some PDP-LX5090 about.But i'd hurry up if you want one.

Here for example

I'd say you're more likely to find the 60" versions of both more easily available, which would be a damn nuisance...

I had a 500A on order for months. Time went on and on. And they were getting harder and harder to get (with no sign of mine arriving). The 600A although more available were also getting snapped up. In the end I cancelled my 500A order and ordered a 600A.

Be warned if you do go for the 60" one, they are HUGE.

If you want the either the 5090 or the KRP-600A, hurry up, they wont be around for much longer either.

The LX5090 is available at Currys (not quite as good as the 500a but very close), they don't have any on show but if you go and enquire about one, they have stock. Good thing is that they are selling with the pedestal stand and speaker/s for £1899, which is way cheaper than anywhere else, they will throw in delivery as well if you barter. I know cos I just got one......hurry though, the shop I went to only had 6 left.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Took delivery of a PDP-LX5090 from RGB Direct yesterday. £1965 delivered with a five year warranty.

Allocated tomorrow to move PDP-434HDE to children's playroom and replace with LX5090. Any suggestions for HDMI cable to go with it?

Don't waste too much money on HDMI cables. I couldn't notice any difference between my £60 cables & £5 cables. Check this: http://whathifi.com/Review/ThatCable-HDMI/
