Why nobody can equal the Pioneer Elite KURO plasmas yet?

I don't see how Pioneer or Sharp are a fool for using the Elite name for high end LCD's. Please explain it to me. Anyone expecting an LCD to exceed the 2nd gen Kuro Signature Elite might be a fool though.
But if Sharp puts the Elite name on the 70" 3d LE935, it will probably be pretty decent. The LE935 got some props at CES.

I think you really mean Panasonic is a fool for not releasing a Panasonic Kuro.

Because the elite name stood for quality and we all know none of sharp TV's will be anywhere near the performance of the 9G's elites. They're just doing this for money on the elite name. Funny thing is joe6 didn't care about the elites before so would they care now?

And everybody who knows about the elite name wouldn't even think about touching this.

You would think pioneer would work with panasonic to adopt the name, you know the company that bought your kuro tech ........but they go to sharp?

By the way, didn't you have pics of your HT? I think i remember seeing them. Might be thinking of sombody else.

I agree, it doesn't make sense.

Sharp and Pioneer have been working together since '07, so it makes a lot more sense than Panasonic actually.

Haven't posted any pics other than asking with type of LCD I should put in my non-light controlled living room. I still haven't bought one due to the work in progress but will probably buy something this summer. Link

I'm looking at a used LX5090 this week-end. It still has a full year of warranty left so that's a major plus.I've heard a lot about ''optimum'' mode being bad for overall pq and lifespan of these tv's. Is this true? And if so. Can I just look in the service menu if the contrast has been boosted too much? On a tv with approx 2500-3000 viewing hours. Would it be recommended to let it be if the previous owner always watched it this way,or is it nog that bad as people say?The guy himself doesn't look like a ht freak to me so I don't think he fiddled with the controls too much. Just wanna make sure. I'll be able to testplay the tv. Any other things I need to take a look at?He's asking 1800€ (2000 Us Dollars) for the Kuro with full year premium warranty,original sidespeakers and original wall mounting. Seems like a nice deal?Thanks everyone.
