Panasonic TC-P54V10 Reviewed: Worthy Successor to Pioneer Kuro
When the lauded Pioneer Kuro plasmas went off-air in May, many mourned the loss of what was arguably one of the world's best HDTVs. With the launch of the Panasonic TC-P54V10 plasma, however, a worthy successor has apparently emerged. More »Spotted: The Last of the Endangered Kuro Elite Plasmas?
What have we here? Why, a fresh shipment of what is, after Pioneer's exit from the TV business, now among the most valuable retail inventory around—the sole remaining Pioneer Kuro plasma TVs. More »Pioneer's Kuro Plasma, the World's Greatest TV, Dies in May
Pioneer will end the Kuro plasma's storied life in May with a final run of 2,500 50-inch models (RP-500A and KRP-500M) and 500 60-inchers. These are sure to be super-pricey nerd collector's items. [CrunchGear]Pioneer Exits TV Business, No More Sweet Plasmas

Panasonic 65VX100U Premiere Plasma Is a Kuro Killer?
Tonight in Denver, Panasonic revealed its newest plasma technology, the 65" custom-install-only VX100 monitor, whose specs meet or beat Pioneer's hallowed Kuro. That means 60,000:1 contrast ratio with 7,160 shades of gradation for visible detail in the darker shadows. At 65 inches, you will pay $10,000 a panel, but not to worry: Panasonic will roll out a 50 incher soon, which is sure to be (a teeny tiny tad) cheaper. We sat in a dark room and got to compare the VX100 with its predecessor, the 65PF. Though the results in the room were startlingly vivid, you can get a sense of what's going on here in our still shots:If you're really crazy about TV technology, jump for a second gallery of slides from the presentation—but, as they say on MythBusters, there's some "science content" ahead, so put the drink down and focus...
