Pioneers back
again
re-re-announcing
their
PDP-5000EX, that
"tiny" full 1080p 50-incher, this time with a price tag ¥1,050,000 (just shy of $9,000 US) and that same
June launch, though we are very heartened by the machine translated phrase: "worldwide beginning." They also
threw out a couple of slightly less impressive but slightly more affordable displays, the ¥600,000 ($5100 US)
50-inch PDP-507HX, and ¥480,000 ($4100 US) 42-inch PDP-427HX. They feature 1,365 x 768 and 1,024 x 768 panels
respectively, and dual digital tuners, dual HDMI, three composite, VGA, and Ethernet (among other, more Japanese
inputs). No word when or if they'll jump the pond, or how much tariffs will bloat up that price, but we know you're
waiting for the
big
hundie-three, ain'tcha?

$510 for a 50 incher? I'm in for 100 of those please...
you can get one for yourself now. Now available in the US for $3,999 at www.electronics-depot.com
Those prices have to be wrong... maybe missing a zero at the end, by chance?
I'll take a whole boatload of 510.00 50" Pioneers please.
i just checked the site, 600,000 yen and 480,000 yen, not 60,000 and 48,000. They are $5,000 and $4,000.
42" instead of their traditional 43", means NEC glass. No Media receiver box and/or side speakers, signs of going cheapo, but at leas the swivel stand is back., yet still pricey. I hope the U.S. versions won't be assemble in Mexico.
LoL I hope the u.s. version is not assemble in mexico too! But wow around $9,000 for a big screen t.v. you gotta be loaded to affoard that money to spend on a home theatre system... I gots to win the lottery!
