We preview Pioneer's PDP-70HD series, the company's 2006 line of plasma TVs.
Since we haven't reviewed either the PDP-4270HD or the PDP-6070HD, we can't comment on their individual performance, but we believe the performance of the PDP-5070HD is a good indicator. In terms of connectivity, all three sets share similar features, with two HDMI inputs, three component-video inputs (two rear, one side), and an analog VGA-style PC input. All three sets also feature a built-in HDTV tuner and a CableCard slot, so you can receive both over-the-air HDTV and digital cable without an external set-top box. The PDP-4270HD, PDP-5070HD, and PDP-6070HD are all currently available with list prices of $3,500, $4,500, and $7,000, respectively.
