Yep, and plasma typically started at 42" while LCD ruled below this.

Now we're told that LCD quality has improved to the quality of plasma, which is only correct if you have the best LCD and a crappy plasma.

As with audio however, once a certain quality is reached people are more than happy so premium products at a premium price struggle to find a market. Doubt we'll see any other plasma or any LCD to match the picture of Pioneer's Kuro's which have now been discontinued.

Kuros were based on Panasonic glass. The Premier series betters the Kuros, to my eyes. As for LCD ...yuck.

  Hmmm. From what I recall, Pioneer made their own glass but are now going to outsource to Panasonic; from what I've heard, Pioneer's own glass was better quality than Panasonic.
  
  From one of the reviews you linked to "However, it's also one of the best-performing televisions we've ever reviewed, delivering a picture that approaches that of the current picture quality champion, Pioneer's Kuro Elite."
  
  So even the reviewer concededs that the Kuro was/is the best and the Panny doesn't quite get there. :0)

    I guess it's all a matter of opinion.
    
    Panasonic has been providing the glass for Pioneer since about July of '08.

I've got an audio bud who owns a Kuros, it was hard to calibrate. LED may be the future, hope it helps drop the price of LCD's.

  I've got a Kuro which isn't professionally calibrated but has been adjusted to settings recommended by a pro and the picture is fantastic.
