Have had my 507xd now for a year and I am still stunned by the outstanding quality of crisp clear broadcasts. Six months ago I upgraded to sky full HD and their isn"t a lot of difference from ordinary broadcasts. Nothing negative to advise on.

Having this TV for month. Watching TV from approx. 4 metres and hearing no noise from back of TV. I can hear some noise when I´m watching from 2.5 and less metres. Picture is excellent, sound is good, I connected subwoofer and have enough of bass. This TV has outstanding picture compare to other TVs of other producers !! E-mail: galop@volny.cz

Electrical noise is its Achilles' Heel Having looked at all the reviews and owning Pioneer AV equipment, my expectations were quite high. Unfortunately electrical noise is its Achillies' Heel. Everything is overshadowed by an irritating electrical buzzing noise from the rear of the set that gets worse with a whiter screen or when there's a lot of contrast i.e. simply looking at the TV menu with a black screen. It becomes unbearable using the PC input in a quiet room. It's not the sort of noise you'll notice this in the shop, but it becomes irritatingly obvious at home. I've now had two of these - manufactured several months apart and I think the second one is worse than the first. Pioneer Technical Support hasn't been any help. I posted a query about this on the website two months back and there's been silence from Pioneer (the sort I wish I had on my TV)! I can only assume they want to keep it quiet - so to speak. Apart from the noise issue, the TV is fairly impressive and has loads of features. The EPG is basic by current standards i.e. media type PCs of Cable/Satellite boxes. In certain light conditions the fabric grille on the external speaker does make it look like it was manufactured 50 years ago - the material is streched unevenly in certain places and can have a dusty worn out appearance. With a TV this size you're probably at the mercy of the white van man if it goes wrong - endless collections, deliveries and phone calls because you can't simply dump it back in the shop where it belongs. At least that's my current experience with Dixons and it's sadly not over yet.
