Kuro Plasma TVs from Pioneer Elite set the bar for flat panel displays with extraordinary
color reproduction, clarity and brilliance. No surprise Home Theater Magazine called them “the greatest flat panel ever.” The new line of Elite Kuro TV sets come in both 50” and 60” sizes. For even more advanced performance, the new Elite Signature Series monitors are available to integrate with your high performance home theater system, with simply the best and deepest blacks you’ll find in any TV. We’ll be debuting the new line in Maryland during the Pioneer KURO Tour stopping at both Gramophone showrooms on September 26th and 27th. More details on the tour coming soon.
I attend the CES convention every year in Las Vegas to get a sneak peek at the prototypes and new technology on the horizon. This year, the big story was focused on thin TVs. And I mean really thin, beginning with the Pioneer Project Kuro Concept TV. We’ve had phenomenal success with the Pioneer Kuro at Gramophone. It’s easily the best-looking and best-performing TV we’ve seen. At the CES show, I got to take a look at the new Pioneer Concept Kuro, and it truly blew me away. This amazing television is only 9mm thick. For those of you who need a conversion, that’s about 3/10” inches. And I haven’t even mentioned that it contains technology that eliminates all measurable light from the screen, meaning the pictures are the richest and most detailed ever seen.
A few others exciting televisions on the horizon:
- Sony showed the XEL-1 OLED. This 11” television is incredibly only 3mm thick. 
It’s the first Organic Light Emitting Diode television to debut in the U.S. This new technology boasts incredible contrast and brightness – a quality level Sony promises will become the standard against which all TVs are measured.
- Hitachi also showed a line of 32”, 37” and 42” televisions that are just 1.5” thick.
- Sharp unveiled a prototype model for a massive 108” diagonal LCD TV, the first two of which are reportedly scheduled for delivery to the White House. Needless to say, a 108” TV is a pretty amazing spectacle that drew a lot of attention at CES.
We sell countless flat TVs at Gramophone. After all, we were the first store to debut flat 
TV in the state of Maryland, so we know a thing or two about judging them. We’ve always been fans of Pioneer Elite; they truly have the most stunning picture when you do a side-by-side comparison. And now that they’ve just released the new Kuro flat TV, we have to agree with Home Theater Magazine, who called this the “Greatest Flat Panel Ever”. Of course it’s got the latest in full 1080p HDTV technology, but what really makes the Kuro a show-stopper is the picture. It has the blackest blacks you’ve ever seen and the contrast of colors and detail is eye-popping. We’ve got the Kuro on display at Gramophone where you can come see it for yourself.
Enjoy,
