Second-generation Pioneer KURO unveiled: 5x deeper black levels {Engadget HD}

May 10th 2008 3:02AM Got a Pioneer X5000 a while ago, the first time a screen matched my old trinitron reference monitor. Except for the blacks but the contrast and resolution are amazing. The big joke: despite the fact the KURO is the latest craze, the older 5000 is so much better it makes the current 50" look like cheap lcd's.

Why no 42"? Logic: 42" does not really benefit from 1080P there is not enough |real estate" on the screen to actually show the difference between 720P and 1080P. DPI and all that.
