I am looking at the Pioneer Pro-620HD for my next TV and it reads well but I have not gotten opinions by current owners. If anyone out there has one please give me your opinion on it. Thanks

..I just got my pro520 on 3/3/02 and love this set!!. I have been looking at the hdtv's since they came out and the Pioneer blows away the competition! All the reviews rate it as tops in performance and build quality has no comparisons. I originally was going to buy a pro720 but I am glad that I purchased the 520. Here is why.....my local retailer has approximately 15 to 20 big screen tv's within one room. When I saw the 520 next to the big boys it looked quite small and figured the 720 was the one to buy. However, after reviewing it with my wife and my finances, the 720 and the 620 would have been too massive for my family room. I suggest you look closely at your space.....it could save you a lot of money!! One thing to be very careful about.....Pioneer will NOT honor their warranty if you purchase the Elite line from an etailer. You will find etailers who claim otherwise, however, all you have to do is call pioneer and they spell it out quite clearly! If you shop around locally, you can get a good deal. I paid $4595.00 and got the thing delivered for another $50.00 including set-up. I did find an etailer that would sell it for $3900.00 on-line but by the time I added shipping and extended warranty I only saved about $200.00 to $300.00 dollars. The peace of mind knowing that I had local support and that there was no question as to the validity of the factory warranty was very impotant to me!! Good luck!!
Abraham's comments apply to mine, including the cost savings if you shop around. I have the PRO-610HD.One note just so you know...and this isn't specific to Pioneer. The rear projection TV do "halo" which is inherent to the design. It's rarely distracting, but every now and then it is.
Also, color and contrast can be improved by lining the inside with Duvetyne. An easy tweak, but something to research if you're looking for "ultimate" performance. It absorbs reflected light inside the box better than the black paint...keeping colors from being as washed out. Even stock, the unit is excellent. I've had mine for a little more than a year. Oh, and I never installed the protective screen as it is very reflective...and I don't have kids.

I own the pioneer pro-710HD. It is quite similar except it is the previous year model, and it is a larger screen. I have been very happy with the TV, and have owned it for a few months. Here are my opinions about it.The picture quality was the best of any rear-projection set I saw, it beat every other similar priced projector in my opinion
The setup of the TV is very easy, the owners manual was quite easy for me to understand
The included remote is excellent. It is backlit, programmable, and easy enough to use.
It has the nicest cabinent finishing of about all the big screens. While most companies use a flat black plastic, it uses MDF board covered with a black glossy lacquar.
Also be sure to search around, the retail on mine was $7000, but with some looking I bought one online for $4900 plus about $400 shipping. I was able to save about $2000 doing this.
