How much?
"This 32-inch model costs around £1,300 and the larger 37-inch model is £1,500"
I knew that the Kuro LCD was coming... but I just never wanted to believe it, haha. Is this going to mark the end of the Plasma? I hope not.
Nope. Look's like Pioneer's not going Elite on this one.

it's sooty with a sullied gullet... the story of what REALLY happened last night.
100hz? What the hell...
my guess is because in europe, they run traditional tv at 50hz? is that right?
Yes, but I didn't see anything regarding PAL or release location until I looked again. It mentions the UK reviewer got hold of it.
Sooty FTW
My thoughts exactly :D
Damn it makes you feel nostalgic though, and old :S
To be honest, im woundering what Titchmash is doing. He's been a bit weird that fellow since groundforce ended.
"Oh my god, l'm sat drinking with puppets... and I'm fondling one of em!"
One of the pictures show 100Mhz. It would be nice if the US model came with 120Mhz.
let's try 120Hz first!
selfridges have had this for months.. isnt it old news?
It's new news to me!
They didn't try it with freesat?
Alan Titchmarsh - What a plonker.
Horizontal Scart's?.
14 pages for 14 pictures?! get the frak outta here
No thanks, I'll keep my 50" Kuro plasma (its bigger/better). But honestly with the current Kuro prices how cheap are these LCDs going to be? I'm pretty sure Pioneer just wants to compete in the LCD market with the likes of Sony and other high-end manufacturers.
Yes.. This must be the overseas model.. What they do is double the scan rate to achieve a "smoother" picture.. I'm not a big fan... 50 Hz > 100 Hz (overseas) 60 Hz > 120 Hz I'm sure there's a US model coming....
Older than an old thing from oldsville..
"CNET's UK branch was able to grab hold of what appears to be a retail Pioneer KRL-32V KURO LCD"
Presumably by simply walking into any decent electrical retailer and buying it?
As mentioned above, they've been available for months, and at prices from just over £1000 - 1200 depending on where you look..
Nobody needs to see Alan Titchmarsh in High Definition.
SOOTY
I always assumed that a TV advertised as 100Hz over here is actually exactly the same TV as its 120Hz US marketed version, and thus could switch to 120Hz if viewing an NTSC signal.
Or am i wrong?
I think you're right. Although not all 100hz UK TVs are 120hz, I'm guessing they will be increasingly, because 5:5 pulldown is winage.
