Why Buy a Plasma TV?
If you tire of having to adjust the lighting or draw the blinds just to watch TV, then you immediately understand why so many people prefer plasma televisions. Light doesn't ruin Plasma TV images the way that it ruins images on the alternatives. In fact, the plasma television performs well under ambient light and bright light which is why businesses prefer plasma TVs in brightly lit conference rooms.
The size of the plasma TV is also appealing - especially in the entertainment room. Its 160 degree vertical and horizontal angles allow for a larger viewing audience similar to the way a small movie screen accommodates a small crowd.
It's additionally lighter in weight and thinner than typical TV sets, which makes it a convenient addition to almost any room. Instead of setting a television onto a sturdy cabinet or inside a compartmented entertainment center, you can hang a plasma TV on the wall, set it inside a flushed wall, or even hang it on the ceiling!
Perhaps most important, magnetic fields don't affect plasma TVs.

Why High Altitude?
Why do plasma TVs have problems at high altitude, and how are they affected?
Why do plasma TVs have problems at high altitude, and how are they affected?
High altitude pressure affects *all* plasma televisions because thin air stresses the natural gases (argon, neon, and xenon ) inside the televisions' glass envelopes. During stress, thin air pressure affects the gases that surround the envelopes (N2 and O2) and creates an imbalance from enveloped pressure increases and surrounding pressure decreases.
Before plasma TV's leave the factory, they're calibrated to adjust to this stress at sea level. Depending on your area, that calibration varies. Should you move and transport your plasma TV just a minimum of 500 feet above that calibration, you could notice a significant difference in quality.
You won't notice a visual difference - you'll notice that the television's fans or cooling system runs more frequently and louder instead - all in an effort to keep the TV's display element at a safe temperature. This of course places additional strain on the unit's motors and even through regular use; the strain decreases the unit's longevity. A plasma TV's average lifespan is 12-17 years, and that's at a 4-6 hour a day usage rate.
The best way to determine whether a plasma TV is appropriate for your home is to view it at the same level in which it will be used *prior* to purchasing one. Most plasma TV's function fine under 5500 feet and anything over that could present a problem. That is unless you're viewing a high-altitude plasma TV from Pioneer.

eBay Auctions for Pioneer Plasma Televisions
You can get a great deal at eBay!
My quick tips for buying from eBay:
1. Look for the best price elsewhere and never bid higher, making sure to factor in shipping and tax.
2. Place your bid at the last minute before the auction ends. If you can't be present when the auction ends, use a "sniping" service. Look it up in Google if you don't know what that is.
3. Bid the highest possible amount you're willing to pay, but without using round numbers. For exam, bid $1003.85 and not $1000.
4. Always use a credit card when paying through PayPal, and never with a bank withdrawal. Despite all the guarantees by eBay and PayPal, your credit card company offers much more consumer protection.

Why a high altitude plasma TV from Pioneer?
Besides being recognized as high quality, plasma TVs from Pioneer are designed to operate at 7500 feet without any affect on their lifespan.
The 50 inch wide-screen Pioneer PDP-5080HD for example, maintains a fine 1366 X 768 resolution up to 7500 feet without the irritating buzz of its fans or cooling system. This is especially important if you're a fan of high definition sound and the home theater effect. This particular unit includes its own integrated speaker system and it can be purchased for $3,000.
For about a grand more, you might enjoy the Pioneer Kuro PDP-5010FD. This Super HDTV model has a 1920 X 1080 resolution and measures around 4 ½ feet by 2 1/3 feet. Unlike with the Pioneer PDP-5080HD, its high definition makes the unit work harder so you will hear a slight buzzing sound come from its cooling system, but it's hardly noticeable and it doesn't indicate an imbalance.
For twice the amount you'll pay for the Pioneer PDP-5080HD, the Super HDTV, 60 inch Pioneer KURO PDP-6010FD has a 1920 X 1080 resolution. Its high definition causes a slight buzzing sound as well, but again, the buzzing is hardly noticeable and it doesn't indicate an imbalance.
