OO nga Sir Jeff :D
High-Definition Resolution   XGA - 1024 x 768 lang pala to.

Full HD na Pio, mahal sigurado yan

Not so sure but I think the full HD LX Kuros will start at 50".  What is almost sure is they are expensive.  Most reviews I saw however rate the 42" and 50" XGA Kuros higher than their Full HD plasma counterparts. At these sizes, I guess contrast ratio is more critical to PQ than resolution.

pag ganyang palaging may bago e wag na lang kayang bumili? hahaha :)

 :D Oo nga  ;D  See my old post:

There really is no such thing as "future proof".

1080p?  Ang baba naman ng resolution  ...   Wala yan sa lolo ko ...

Sharp already has a prototype 64" LCD with a native resolution of approx. 4000 x 2000 (8.8 megapixels)!

Like I always say, either buy now and enjoy, or keep waiting for the next model until you never buy at all.  :D




=========================================================



...  I guess contrast ratio is more critical to PQ than resolution. 

That's what I keep posting here:


I'm sure that LCD and plasma makers are both aware that 1080p is an insignificant improvement for smaller screens --- they're only doing it because full HD is what the customer wants.  Ask the average flat panel shoppers what they think is the most important aspect in a flat panel's picture quality, and you'll invariably get the same answer:  RESOLUTION. 

According to the ISF (Imaging Science Foundation), the most important aspects of picture quality are:  1. contrast ratio, 2. color saturation, 3. color accuracy, and 4. resolution, in that order.  Resolution is the least important, yet the bandwagon seems to think the opposite.

 :o Hindi ka naniwala sa previous post ko eh ...  Murang mura na ngayon ang Kuro ... :o


... If you want a Pioneer plasma, wait for the Kuro.  I think buying the previous generation's model now would be a waste of money.  The Kuro is the new king of black levels.

Pioneer Kuro Plasmas
« Reply #101 on: Nov 26, 2007 at 02:21 PM »
Hi.
I'm a newbie here.
I'd like to direct this question to members who have recently bought a Pioneer 8th generation Kuro.
Do you think P160T is a reasonable price to pay for a 50-in model-- specifically, the PDP 508XG now available in top HT outlets? Would anybody know a store that sells the same model for less?

Got from Jeff of Theater Works Pio 508XG last Friday. My sisters unit arrived yesterday. Tested it using Ordinary DVD (Fifth Element - Superbit) and I'm amazed by the PQ eventhough it's not BD. My unit will be arriving later. Heto na naman ang walang katapusang gastos ;D ;D ;D

Thanks to Jeff aka Nemesis91 and more power to your store!

Since this thread no longer has anything to do with Pioneer Kuro Plasmas and is instead a complaint/rant/testimonial or something, I'm locking this thread. You can continue the lovefest/hatefest or whatever you want on the other thread on this same topic, which I think has the more appropriate thread title:

http://pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=74203.0

Seriously, please never start the same topic in three sections again.  ::)
