In a recent press release (Japanese) Pioneer introduced their newest flagship TV, the KRP-600M which is part of the 9th generation of KURO plasma TVs from Pioneer. Sales will start at the end of this month in Japan and will cost the Japanese $8,000 USD. By the end of the year Pioneer willl come with a smaller version, the 50-inch KRP-500M.
This month's release is a 60-inch screen that comes with Full HD screening in 1920x1080. With previous KURO models there were some complaints surrounding the TV's black level, but this time Pioneer claims that they were able to significantly improve the KRP-600M's black level.
The manufacturer finishes its list with a few 'extras'. An Ethernet connection, one video input, an S-VHS input, a component input, DVI-D input and one PC input finishes Pioneer's new flagship's spec list.
"Pioneer introduced their newest flagship TV, the KRP-600M which is part of the 9th generation of KURO plasma TVs from Pioneer."
I doubt the Kuro is in 9th generation as the darn things just hit the market this year.
Probably, Kuro is the 8th and 9th generation of all plasmas Pioneer have ever produced. My guess is the 600m is the 2nd generation Kuro. This message was edited at: 12-06-2008 22:50
