Blu Ray to the masses: 10 questions about Blu Ray

[Terjyn]

Either that Samsung is the crappiest TV ever, or you have some kind of calibration issue then (or something equivalent).

As an Kuro owner I know that Pio crush anything else.
When deciding to go for 768p or 1080p i compared them side by side with Blu-Ray. Almost impossible to see any difference.


Kuro 768p is "always" better than any 1080p LCD.

Right.
Let's do that comparison on a 50" + (even more so 60"+).
Black levels do not do everything, even if the Kuro's are indeed pleasing for the eye.
There are excellent LCD sets out there with very good color accuracy and good black levels, and at sizes that go 50" and beyond, the picture will look better than the 768p imo.

But, well, I'm telling that to a Kuro owner

I would indeed take the Kuro, maybe not at 60" but surely 50" (Pio doesn't make a 720P 60" anyway)
As my previous post says, I have direct comparison in my home and I have seen extremely expensive 50"and larger 1080P LCD TV's recently that can't touch my 720P Kuro (Including Sony's highly acclaimed brand new XBR's which I saw in-store yesterday)

I feel really embarrassed to be a Kuro owner sometimes...

I wish people wouldn't go around making us all look bad.

The only TVs that can compete with any Plasma Kuros are the LED ones that just started to come out. On the "Kuro" LCD range, I did a side-by-side comparison of the LED 42" Philips and a 1080p Pioneer "Kuro" LCD, and the result was pretty one sided. As for the larger sizes the Samsung and Sony 9th gen TVs are very competitive with the Pioneers, and If I were buying a new TV; I would go with the Sony 46" XBR8 or Samsung 55" 950 instead of the 50" KRP-500.

You really should know something about TV's. Any 720 Pioneer will destroy any LCD and if you want 1080p Pioneer simply forget it. There isn't a LCD that can compare!
