I've been quoted 160T for the 428 Kuro at Automatic and provisionally, around 20T below that by one of our favorite stores in this forum.  Hopefully its going to be lower pa.  If so, I'm ready to pull the trigger on this baby. 

wow that is lower than what i am expecting! time to sell my 427 cheap and get those 8th gen kuros in my home!!!

Better hit the road and check out the stores.  You won't believe the prices. You may have to sell that 427 way way cheaper though. Thank you weak dollar. It really is the time to buy.    :) ;)

have you seen the difference between the 427 and 428? dun sa 50 inches na pioneer mukang my difference pero sa 42 it is hard to tell.. looks almost similar to me.. or maybe pangit lang ung dvd source nong nakita ko sya in action...

Have seen both but not at the same time and the 428 sandali lang. But even if side by side sila, you can never tell if one is perfectly calibrated or not. The 427 already looks goegeous to me and all the reviewers say the 428 is a huge leap in picture quality over the 427.

But all this is irrelevant given the entry price of the 428.

Has anyone seen the new 42 or 50 inch pioneer KURO? read the reviews they said that the picture quality is way better than the older version of the pioneer pdp 427 or the 50 inch...

Any comments or comparisons?

thanks

i just got word that the kuro model released here is not a 2mp version. anyway, here's my take on the new model:
1. specs-wise, its better than the previous model. major advantages include:
  - 64hz vs 24hz
  - 10k:1 vs 4k:1 contrast ratio
2. surprisingly it's cheaper (just ask our favorite shops for a freindly quote)
3. picture quality is superior compared to the previous model.

the pioneer definitely puts you at the top of the food chain in plasma monitors. and because you get better picture quality at a lower cost, the new pioneer plasma gets my vote.

The Kuro models garnering all those rave reviews are the 720p ones.  Di pa yung mga 1080p models na kalalabas pa lang kaya wala pang reviews. Am sure mas maganda yung mga 1080p pero $$$$$ naman.

Contrast ratio of the 428 is 16,000:1 which per reviews seem conservative pa.

The most important difference I saw was the price.  Mas mura yung 428.  'Nuf said  ;).

hi louie, you're not the first person on the net to give this observation, its a good consolation for those who bought the 7th gen panel earlier and those planning to get them now for the bargain they are today.

http://www.xtremeplace.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=45450.msg359962#new

this is of course not to dampen the kuros fever set to hit us soon, after all very few of us have seen them in action, hopefully the full hd models arrive with same 'soft' price as the xg models.

sir jeff what's to account for the low prices the new models are selling for? the weak dollar or is it really the trend in the industry of maturing technology or competition?

I'll get mine tomorrow.  Twas a struggle but I settled for the 428.  I was so tempted by the 508.  Daming buyers ng Kuro when I was in the store. I guess like me, a lot of guys found the combination of top rated perfomance and cheaper-than-expected pricing irresistible.  Get yours while the dollar is weak.  :)
