Pioneer announces UK release date for Kuro full HD plasmas

Pioneer has announced the UK launch date for its latest KURO high-definition plasma TVs.

The new products will be launched at a ‘Black Screen Party’ at Claridges in London, on 25 September.

Kuro means black in Japanese, and the TVs feature state of the art, intelligent technology, which displays 80% deeper black levels than rival models, providing richer colours and sharper images.

The KURO flat screen TVs take source and room conditions into account when processing images - a daytime football match will be processed differently to a floodlit match - giving crisp, clear images whatever the conditions.

The 1080p compatible plasma display is available in 50in and 60in screen sizes.

The PDP-LX508D KURO model from Pioneer has recently been voted the best full HD 1080p plasma in Europe by the European Imaging and Sound Association.
