"It's the economy, stupid." ;) I wish Japan could infuse Pioneer with cash to make them viable in order to bring out one of these babies but that's merely a fantasy. :(

How come the company with the best tv in the world is no longer going to make them!!!!!! Could you please share your secret with Panasonic so they can carry on the progress you made?

[vinnie97]

They're not, unless someone besides Pioneer implements this technology. Getcher 9Gs while you can.

[Superboy316KING]

[rupert81]

2,300 pounds for the pioneer display here in the uk. I'll stick with my pz800 at half the price.
