On the whole, we'd say
KURO plasma owners are
pretty stoked about their sets. Those who'd prefer a
KURO-branded LCD, however, have been waiting anxiously to hear something more from ole Pioneer for months. Thankfully, the firm has finally spoken, and while it doesn't mention any brand / model names specifically, we can assume that those LCD HDTVs we saw
emerge in Europe will be gracing US shores in mere months. During the first half of 2009, Pioneer LCD HDTVs will be loosed in North America and Asia, and unless plans change, the panels within will actually be supplied
by Sharp. Might we be on the lookout for a sneak peek at CES '09?

I assume Pioneer is doing this to capitalize on the fact that LCDs are selling like hotcakes compared to Plasma (it's sad I know). But I still don't understand why LCD is winning. I can't think of a single situation which would prompt me to buy an LCD over a Plasma. They're essentially the same price now. I mean a 50" 1080p Panasonic Plasma is like $1500 these days, that's a ridiculously amazing price. I could see if LCD were cheaper, but they're not anymore. It's a strange world we live in where inferior products snuff out superior ones even when they're within the same price range.
