tired of recomendations of Kuro - Blu-ray Forum

ijokr · 06-20-2009, 03:12 PM

I'm getting tired that everyone here recommends the kuro when it's not an option for the OP. For example, someone asks should I get the 42" G10 $1300 or the 50" S1 $1350, and the answer get a $3000 kuro, nothing compares, is the best and everything else sucks. Almost everyone on this site knows that the kuro is the best but it's not the only option, there are tons of great tv's in the market. This makes the displays threads useless. And just when one suggests the kuro, every post after that is seconding the kuro. Of course, if the OP is looking for a similar priced tv then by all means recommend the kuro, but not when they´re asking for different ballparks. We should be more helpful

Shit like that happens in almost any thread. I've seen a guy ask for speaker recommendations on a $300.00 budget, and some bonehead still recommended a $1500 speaker. So in that sense I agree with your frustration.

When people do stuff like that, it's not a recommendation, it's a thinly veiled boast.

From the OP's post or the responses he's getting?

Behold, how this thread became an example of the very thing you were talking about.

yeah, just yield to temptation and get a kuro

People recommend Kuro's because like many said they are simply the best. A Kuro, when properly calibrated to ISF standard, is a professional monitor. This is the standard that many studios use to verify their movies.

The OP should not be tired of Kuro recommendations. Rather, the OP should be upset that Pioneer is no longer making the best display on the planet.

No. Not in the market for a new TV, and if I were, I don't think I'd go that route.

No, it's not. You completely made that up, because you can't imagine it being otherwise.

You're completely missing the point of the OP. A pile of one-note responses that take no consideration of the parameters facing the shopper are just not helpful.

I think the guy who started this thread should get a Kuro.

I did not make it up. I read Penton talking about it on his insider's post. The Kuro is one of the displays to test BD's because it is capable of displaying a reference source. I am sure that studios test with projectors too. By the way, what's your problem? I don't understand the attitude.

It was inevitable.
