Thats the whole thing with 4/3: they removed the prism and mirror and replaced it with an electronic viewfinder. Doubt they will do a paralax optical either, too expensive and not part of the formfactor.

They actually look like my B&W speakers.....

Never surf while watching tv because I only watch stuff I recorded so I can FF / skip slow bits. And we don't have that rugby for girls you kids call football over here...

....ooh dude ... lets grab a leather sack and run into each other for 30 seconds and call it a sport... yeah dude but only if we dress up in some armor plated crap because I hate to ruin my nails......Pretty sure when it becomes legal, half the team will marry each other...

Richard? Who is that?

Ferris Bueller comes to BLu Ray and this turns into an Odo-Anonymous meeting??

FERRIS... Bl U . E. L. L. E. Ray!

Not Oh, Doh! Meter?

yeah i know, only turbo geeks and nerds like this movie anyway so the whole odor expansion was expected ....

Oh dear... Sony? They don't do Audio really might as well buy a couple of PC speakers and use them on your iPod. First AV receiver I owned was a Sony, horrible, traded it in within a week for an Onkyo. Recently made the same mistake again... absolutely horrible. Got a Denon 2805 instead and never looked back.

forget about Sony they have a dynamic range that starts at about 200hz and cuts of at 10.000 and still manages to sound flatter then a pancake in that range. horrible horrible horrible...

The sad fact is: if you buy a KURO you buy one for 8 to 10 years, this makes them almost as cheap as a Panny or any other cheap piece of junk simply because you enjoy it so much more.

I can watch my PDP 5000EX 24/7 it is so good and so relaxing to watch, would never happen with any crappy vizio, they drive me crazy in 15 minutes. Which makes them real cheap to own I guess lol

The electric bill over those 10 years is the really expensive part... lol

Well thank god I got the best screen Pioneer ever made: the PDP5000 EX

With a $16000 pricetag when it was introduced it must have scared away so many people I could pick one up for 3900.- a year later. So it was build and designed a while ago but nothing comes close to this. Actually had the latest Kuro high end model next to it, same BluRay disc player connected only to find out the new models where a joke compared to this absolute beauty. So yes Pioneer has good reason to be more expensive and if you ever come across one of these: BUY it, no tuner, no audio, no support its just a screen but man.. what a screen.

Donkey, three words: Pioneer PDP5000 EX

and yeah i played Hellboy (planet earth, wild china and a few others ) on both screens and the 5000EX made the Kuro look like it was playing a VHS copy...

Got a Pioneer X5000 a while ago, the first time a screen matched my old trinitron reference monitor. Except for the blacks but the contrast and resolution are amazing. The big joke: despite the fact the KURO is the latest craze, the older 5000 is so much better it makes the current 50" look like cheap lcd's.

Why no 42"? Logic: 42" does not really benefit from 1080P there is not enough |real estate" on the screen to actually show the difference between 720P and 1080P. DPI and all that.
