ELITE TV's are back
Sharp and Pioneer resurrect Elite with line of LED LCD TVs, pricing starts at $6,000.
Looks promising! But I thought Panasonic had bought the rights? |

I'm still enjoying the heck out of my Pio Kuro Elite! I'm amazed and blown away each and every time I watch it.
Somehow I still don't believe these new versions will match it. |

Nope. Nothing! I have since purchased many more flat panels that were not exactly cheap simply because I couldn't find any more Elite Plasmas and I sure hope my Kuro Elite Plasma keeps going because if it ever dies, I will cry!

In my current space I don't think I'd have room for the larger size, even if I were in the market. I've had a Kuro Elite 111FD for almost 3 years and am pleased with it. Plus, it has excellent sound for a TV, an important feature to me. I don't want to have to fire up the whole rig just to catch a weather forecast.

The 70" is 8.5k in the US, so it'll be between 9.5K and 10K in Canada. Way too much!

Good luck with those price points for LCD.

Sorry, but I replaced a Pioneer Elite with one of the new Panasonic's. I prefer the color and detail of the newer unit.

IMHO, Pioneer dropped the ball when they got out of video and suspect that their new products will NEVER come close to the Kuro. From everything I have read (have never actually seen one in any area stores), the Panasonic VT30 plasma line might very well be a match for the Kuro. I will predict that after a year, many of us will look back and confidently say that Pioneer video is a shadow of its former self. YMMV MikeSp

Do you have any concern about the reports of rising black levels? I don't know about the 2011 models, but the issue doesn't seem to have gone away. Is yours a 2011?
