This week, Pioneer introduced new HDTVs based on plasma technology that should have strong boosts in quality and performance.
The new TVs, the PDP5080XD and PDP6080XD will almost eliminate a concern of plat panel TVs, the inability to produce rich, deep and dark blacks. The new TVs promise 80% darker blacks than anything currently available on the market.
The new screens will boast a very nice contrast ratio of 20,000:1 due to what Pioneer calls "deep encased cell structure, crystal emissive layer and first surface color filter."
According to Pioneer, "with significantly deeper black levels (80% deeper than before), which ultimately lead to richer colours and sharper details, the new screens are unrivalled in video and audio performance."
Pioneer is calling the new line "Project KURO" (kuro is "black" in Japanese) and the TVs will support full 1080p resolutions.
There are no prices available as of now but Pioneer says the TVs will be hitting shelves soon.
