[79mystique79]

dutch ancestors?

[HDTVSolutions]

ja ja



[krisachar]

Nice product but are they still manufacturing these tv's now...?

[HDTVSolutions]

Pioneer has stopped making TVs, though you may still be able to find a few remaining Kuros out there for sale.

[krisachar]

@HDTVSolutions ,thanks for the reply,But buying such a product with no spares avaliable would be a serious gamble !

[HDTVSolutions]

@krisachar, I agree.

Here is what Pioneer wrote:

"Pioneer announced on February 12, 2009 it will withdraw from the display business by March 2010. While this has been a celebrated category for many years, display production is not economically viable at this time.

For those consumers still considering purchasing an award-winning Pioneer KURO display, current models are available at our retail partners and Pioneer plans to continue supporting service needs, replacement parts and warranties.

[krisachar]

@HDTVSolutions ,Thanks for the information & your time.

be more animated man , wtf is wrong with u nobody died

[cdoherty4381]

is this not the most boring person u ever seen

[fluffyninjas]

yeah, but the screen is so dark it interferes with the experience.

[CRDLIBERTY]

NO its 720p! Yes the highest rated hdtv is 720p lol. 1080p dosent mean better stick with best brands samsung,panasonic,sony,lg

[e521soediv]

the Pioneer Elite Kuro 111FD is even better

-5x better blacks

-way more controls and color controls etc

-light sensor

and its 1928x1080 so its Full HD now

-so much stuff that i dont even feel like saying

so the bottome line is that the pioneer elite Kuro 111FD is the best tv that has ever been made so far. it even beats the CRT's.

[wetardbud]

amen

[GTXMAN]

nah... maybe its really good but I dont think it will be able to beat CRT.

Maybe Oled in future ..

[TheGuyOnDownStreet]

Hey is the Pioneer 11FD's the same as the 1050's but its just 1080p? please respond

[wetardbud]

No, the 111FD has much deeper blacks, higher contrast, light sensor, better picture, it's basically an all around improvement

[TheGuyOnDownStreet]

Is this TV good for watching sports? Football racing etc. because i was reading 1 comment on some other website complaining about blurring while he was watching football ex when the camera zooms in during fast action shots or something like that it blurrs and you can hardly see the players jersey number. Is that true? is this TV good for the fast motion Sports deliver cna it handle it? because im real close to purchasing this tv and this is the last thing i want to know.

[HDTVSolutions]

Blurring when the camera zooms in can often be an artifact of the broadcast and not of the TV.

Also, blurring in these instances of fast motion is not necessarily a bad thing. It just indicates that something is moving very, very fast. If the picture is sharp the other 99% of the time, that's your concern.

With that said, plasmas are well known for being able to handle fast action.

[TheGuyOnDownStreet]

Thanks!

ANY KURO 72o or 1080 looks absolutely stunning I'd take this tv over 99% of other 1080p tv's. As it is the new 1080P Kuro's are better because they are newer but this tv is great as my good friend own's it thats how I can vouch for its amazing quality.

[agbdd2ke]

I saw the new Kuro at Best Buy and now I'm leaning towards that rather than the more expensive 4 inch smaller Sony XBR8. I can get the new 50 inch Kuro for 3000 off on the net talk about bang for your buck! The LCD's in the store can't compare to the PQ of Pioneer.

[FCule]

hahaha funny name. DICK de Jong

[PhillyKid07]

they should make one with a native of 1080p

[HDTVSolutions]

Pioneer will begin to ship new Kuros in June. We'll see what they come out with.

[JBHutto]

Would you say the Kuro is the best TV you can buy?

[One3teen]

pretty much

[sagetology]

Yeah, Pioneer makes the best HDTV's

[CUBANO76]

you are a great reviewer.

[cori738]

hmz3000 which model did you orderd?

[cori738]

hmz3000 which model did you orderd for $1,338?

[Holding1984]

the new 9mm 50 inch pioneer tv looks wkd, cant wait to get one.

[HDTVSolutions]

I believe that you will be waiting for awhile. The Pioneer rep at CES would not venture a guess at when they would be available. This was a concept model, so I would be surprised to see one before 2010.

[jasonsony735]

I own the Pioneer PDP-4280XD and its Amazing !

If anyone wants the best Plasma get Pioneer

[vancityguy]

This is the exact TV I am looking at as well. I agree that Pioneer excels above the rest.

[hmz3000]

Just ordered from dixons for 1338. ordered without ever seeing it!!!

Can't Wait
