Best HDTV Ever, Now On Sale? Buy a Pioneer KURO While You Can
By Big Picture Big Sound Deal Meister
Pioneer's PRO111FD: the best flat panel HDTV ever?
When
Pioneer reps first announced that they would be exiting the plasma panel manufacturing business, fans of their KURO plasma HDTV line were disappointed. But Pioneer assured us that they would continue to make and sell HDTVs with a little help from Panasonic who would supply the raw panels. This year, Pioneer announced that they would
exit from the HDTV market entirely, leaving the 2008/2009 KURO models as the last, and perhaps best, HDTVs made to date.
So now is your chance to pick up one of these extremely high performance HDTV models at clearance pricing as dealers clear out their existing inventory. The current models are available in the standard Pioneer consumer line, and in the Pioneer Elite professional line. The two lines use the same raw panels but the Elite models offer a longer warranty, elegant styling and much more extensive picture calibration controls to help you tweak an excellent picture into something truly outstanding.
Below we've compiled a list of links where these TVs are currently available, at savings of hundreds of dollars off the original list prices. The Elite (PRO) models are not normally available online, nor are they normally discounted, but now that Pioneer is getting out of the business, the rules are becoming more lax and the prices more palatable. For example, Vann's currently has the Elite model
PRO111FD for $2999 ($1500 below list) while supplies last.
Pick your poison and get ready for some jaw-dropping nearly three-dimensional HDTV images with vivid colors, mouth-watering detail and the blackest blacks you've ever seen on a flat panel HDTV. Note that these are all
