looking at this...

http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-KRP-50.../dp/B001PO5UAA

I found a place that has some in stock, but I just gotta confirm if they will ship it since they're not in CA.

Yes, I know there is no tuner & no built in speakers.

thoughts?

It's a SICK tv, but not worth the money anymore. Pioneer has already sold the Kuro tech to Panasonic, you can find it in any panasonic that has NeoPDP.

You want a TV JUST AS GOOD?

Get the new V series from Panasonic. You can buy a 58" V10 for $2700. It's all a Kuro is, and more, since it's final refresh rate can be set for 96Hz for 24p content. Kuros are 72hz for 24p.

If you want 2nd opinion, and I haven't read the atricle yet, I just know it's good, the 58" V is reviewed in the latest issue of Home Theater Magazine.

Both the standard Pioneer and the Elite uses the Kuro Panel
Panasonic's V10 also uses a version of the kuro panel but is still a dual layer PDP
you wont get the same contrast and there is no crystal emissive layer to prevent reflections
Buy the Elites now when you can, Pro-101 or pro-151 60" is probably the best tvs outhere

It is! Pioneer is done with tv's for good so this is going to be the last ones sold such good tv's, it's sad to see them go

Right... They are the best TVs made to date really...

but seriously... $2000 premium for that?

The shop has 4 left of the 500m kuro
$1800 + $147 shipping, no tax

looked at the v10 pannys and they're at least 2k for 50" & $2700 for 58"

I owned a 50" Kuro non-elite last year, and returned it, as I wanted a 60" elite, but did not have the money. I settled for a $900 Sony XBR 37" until I had the extra $$$ for the elite, but since then the economy has tanked, and my home theater cash gone with it. I will always wish I had been able to afford the elite last year. I do pray that Panny will make a set on par with the 9g Kuro Elite within the next year or so, and hopefully I can save enough.

On a side note Joltdude: what have you noticed/heard about the lifespan for the 9G's display brightness? I know it is a plasma thing, so I was wondering how slowly/quickly the 9G's have been losing their brightness over the past year or two of life.
