The big white knight for this company is Sharp Corporation who recently took up a shareholding in Pioneer whose sole energy in the TV has been on delivering the best plasma screens in the business.

From the table top stand of the plasma to the unit's bezel, the set sports a piano-black finish that can complement any room. The control buttons for the unit (Standby/On, Input Selection, Volume Control, and Channel) can be found on the right side panel, while several connectivity ports (USB port for photos, Headphone jack, S-Video, Composite video input, and RCA stereo input) can be found on the unit's left side.

Connectors include three HDMI ports, a D-sub input, two sets of Component video input, three S-Video inputs, three Composite video inputs, RCA stereo audio input and output jacks, an optical port (Digital out), a Composite video output, and even a PC audio input.
