Today is a sad day. Pioneer, makers of the best televisions as of right now has announced that it will stop making plasma flat panels and move on to using Sharp LCD panels. This is to cut costs and help bring Pioneer back into the green. This doesn't bode well for Project Kuro which is Pioneer's tv that boasts a infinite contrast ratio for true blacks and is only 9mm thick. This is one millimeter thicker than a iPod Touch and I believe is thinner than a iPhone. Pioneer says they will begin selling Kuro (Kuro means Black in Japanese) LCDs in the later half of 2008. Hopefully they can do to LCDs that they did to plasmas. These TVs will remain in my most wanted list for awhile. Now where did I put that extra $6,000? ;-)
***Update Pioneer isn't canceling there plasmas there going to start to use the same panels that are in Panasonic tv's!***
