Kuro is a great leap forward.

The Panny's have IMO been the best bang for the buck plasmas out there and they're still very, very good plasmas. I've been watchin' em for 5-6 years.
But the Kuros are indeed special. Chances are your local big box store doesn't have them displayed correctly, but the folks who calibrate for a living say they are by far the best plasmas they've seen for blacks, accurate color and shadow detail.
My eyes agree.
The Pio vs Panny rivalry has been going on a long time. Pioneers used to have warmer (more accurate) color rendition and more realistic shadow detail than the Pannys but the Pannys had greater contrast and therefore blacker blacks...more "pop". And Pannys had a better price. Of course, Fujitsu, using Panny glass and thir own electronics used to best both of them handily - for a price. That's no longer true.
The 10 Lumen panels will best them all.
