My Kuro KRP-600M - hung and beautiful - Blu-ray Forum

jc480 · 05-14-2009, 12:45 PM

My KRP-600M arrived the other day. I hung it last night and, man, this thing is amazing.

It feels like we are sitting in a movie theatre. No...it's BETTER than a movie theatre. The 7.1 channel with the asswhomping sub makes watching movies at home an experience.

This TV is so beautiful it makes me want to cry. I'm watching the matrix and seeing details I've never seen (and this is the 10th time I've watched the movie).

I see colors and so many things that were never there. Subtle details that make this movie amazingly immersive. It does not have the "looking through a window" look...but a movie theatre look....which is what I want. The most important thing is that there is no blur on motion unlike LCDs.

The picture is - so - real. As I'm listening to the sound I'm just floored with all the details like the crackling of electricity, the sounds of footsteps or other background noises that I don't recall ever hearing.

This forum convinced me to go plasma and, man, am I glad I did.

You must be single

I'm hanging my 500m tomorrow. It will be done with break-in tonight.
Are you watching in Pure mode? Using D-nice's settings?

jc480 · 05-14-2009, 01:19 PM

No.

I left everything at factory default, optimum mode and have it set at full screen (no black bars).

I'll break it in by watching movies. I've planned this home theatre for 6 months...no way my family will allow me to run color swatches for 2 weeks

Congrats on your 500M....these Kuro Reference Panels are amazing TVs. The PQ of the elites for about half the price minus the extraneous electronics and mounts.

I was wondering where did you get your monitor from? Did you get it from Amazon.com because I'm trying to get one as well or maybe should I go with the 141 fd.

What's your opinion on the KRP 600 vs 141 fd. I was also looking for a new receiver, would recommend the Denon or a Pioneer?

jc480 · 05-14-2009, 01:40 PM

Monitor Outlet for the TV.

According to D-Nice at the AVSForums, this TV PQ is nearly identical to the Elite. It is a MONITOR which means it doesn't have a tuner, some outlets, a stand mount and a few other things. Which for most people, isn't a problem since their cable box or w/e does the channel changing.

Amazon's pricing for these monitors doesn't appear to be competitive unless they've changed it in the last few weeks.

For a receiver...there may be some marginal benefit to going to Pioneer as I think the TV works with it...same with the BD player. The Denon is a fine fine receiver, but it is NOT user friendly. I am pretty technical and this thing was a pain to setup, not to mention the manual requires a phD in physics to read and understand. The Pioneer, and other brands, may be a bit more plug and play/user friendly.

Unless you're a hardcore technical type, I'd go with Pioneer/Onkyo/etc I paid $500 for my receiver and it seems to have all the capabilities and quality I need.

Full Screen??!! Huh??!!

-- Sounds like a great TV and looks like you're Extremely Happy with the purchase. Congrats!

jc480 · 05-14-2009, 01:46 PM

No black bars because I don't want any chance of image retention. After a month or so I'll return the television to a standard movie widescreen mode.

Ah okay - DUH!! Lol. - Prob. for the very reason where you mentioned above not watching a test image ("Color Swatches") for 2 weeks to break it in. You almost had me there!

Look forward to the updated Pics of the Kuro.

Scooby Blu · 05-14-2009, 01:52 PM

I fully understand why you want to cry! The PQ is simply beyond belief !

My pics will be posted in a week or two.

My KRP-600 is on its way. Should arrive on the 19th.

jc480 · 05-14-2009, 03:38 PM

Awesome, Gremal. This thing is a BEAST.

It's been running for about 3 hours now...a bit surprised at the amount of heat it gives off...and when you stand next to it you can hear a slight bit of buzzing. Not noticeable from viewing distance though.

chelsea.tone · 05-14-2009, 04:28 PM

Congrats JC, the best screen out there

Aerodude73 · 05-14-2009, 04:30 PM

how much does this thing go for? $2000, 2500, more?

- Amazon has no price as it is Out of Stock, so no info there.
