Why nobody can equal the Pioneer Elite KURO plasmas yet?

[dobyblue]

I don't think you low-balled it, perhaps for eBay you did where most sellers are just profiteering and/or don't know better places to look. I've seen lots of PRO-151's go for around $3500 on sites that people in the know would look on.

The 5020 and 6020 also have a work-around now which lets calibrators access the service menu panel to allow for pure mode and ISF mode, giving a calibrated result that is practically on par with the ELITE models.

This gives the Non-Elites Pure mode and ISF modes. The board is $117 from Pioneer or can be found on eBay for $89-$123.

This link has an in-depth step by step PDF attachment for the conversion.
