So it may be worth your while getting in touch with them and seeing what they can do. You may be able to get them down a little furthur. I believe someone also said that they rang them and if they paid cash they would go to $9000. You can take out the terms and then pay it all off in one go without incurring any interest. If you are paying cash then check out They have the LX608 listed as $9113 with their four years interest.

#KURO SMART PLAYER INSTALL#
Total budget for everything is 20k including install and programming of everything so would appreciate suggestions though the panel is non negotiable. Speakers are still a big question mark, looking at Krix, Paradigm, Energy or any suggestions for a decent 5.1 set-up. Would appreciate suggestions for touch screen remote.Ĭustom Install?: I'm still waiting for quotes for everything including install, set-up, programming etc from Todd's HiFi and Home Theaterix, Mark at CAVX was very helpful but didn't feel he wanted to quote as it's not really up his alley so I will have to wait to get those to see if I source the hardware myself and get an installer or let a custom installer / shop supply set-up and install everything. Universal Remote: I was surprised they hadn't heard of Pronto TSU 9600 or RTI T3V universal remotes but got a price for the Harmony 1000i of $500.00 not sure if that's a good price or if the remote is any good.
#KURO SMART PLAYER UPDATE#
Price break down of each if taken on it's own was as follows.ĪVR: Onkyo TXNR 905 - waiting for price from them as it's not on their system yet, will update tomorrowīlue Ray Player: Pioneer BDP LX70A - $1600.00 They mentioned they will do a bit better if I take an AVR. It's THAT good.įor those that are interested I went into JB HiFi at Kedron in Brisbane tonight and got cash price quotes on the following. if i didn't tell people beforehand it was just SD DVD, they would swear they are watching Blu-Ray. Hooked up to the Pioneer DVR-LX60D, the image qualiity is phenominal. This rolloff did not appear to affect the quality of the Pioneer’s color on real program sources.Man. At the highest burst frequency, the horizontal chroma resolution was satisfactory, but the vertical chroma resolution at the same maximum frequency was poor. But the chroma (color) response was more limited. The luma response was first class up to the limit of our resolution test patterns. And it handled our HD deinterlacing tests (1080i-to-1080p), both film- and video-based, as flawlessly as any display I’ve tested. (The upconversion on Pioneer’s own DV-79AVi universal DVD player was superior on these tests.) But the set’s performance was acceptable on my standard assortment of real-world 480i test material. The Pioneer’s 480i-to-1080p upconversion of standard-def sources showed a mixed performance, with some jaggies on dedicated test patterns and an inconsistent lock on 3:2 pulldown. It’s very close to the ATSC color standard (the black triangle), apart from a slightly desaturated green. In addition, the white triangle in the pie-shaped CIE chart, above, shows the set’s color space in the Color Space 2 setting (Pure mode). Post calibration, the result deviates from nearly perfect compliance only at the darkest end of the brightness range, below 30 IRE. The pre-calibration result is for the Mid-Low Color Temp setting. The Color Tracking charts above show how closely a display adheres to the D65 standard white point the tighter the overlap of the three primary colors, the better the result. In comparison, the window-pattern contrast ratio of the PDP-6010 (Pioneer’s non-Elite 60-inch model reviewed at ) measured 9,295:1 (37.18 ft-L peak white, 0.004 ft-L video black).Įven without the use of the ISF CCC setup feature, the PRO-150FD calibrated extremely well. All plasmas dim their output, to remain within the capabilities of their power supplies, as the average picture brightness level increases. Even the full-screen white contrast ratio measured 18,220:1 (18.22 ft-L peak white, 0.001 ft-L video black).

Using a window pattern, I measured a peak contrast ratio of 44,160:1 (that’s not a typo) with an astonishing black level of 0.001 foot-lamberts-the minimum sensitivity of our lab-grade Minolta light meter. HT Labs Measures: Pioneer KURO PRO-150FD Plasma HDTVĬontrast Ratio: Full-On/Full Off 44,160:1Īll of the measurements were taken in the Pure mode, adjusted for the most accurate picture.
