How to select the right Pioneer HDTV

By Philip Wong, CNET Asia

As one of the most established plasma TV manufacturers, Pioneer has been instrumental for a number of key innovations in the consumer display industry. Most notable is the introduction of its Kuro line in 2007, which has constantly set the yardstick for plasma black-level reproduction.

The situation has improved, nevertheless, with the latest ninth-generation (9G) Kuros which are more competitively priced. In fact, our latest reviews have shown that they're still the "king" when it comes to blacks against the pricier LED-backlit LCD TVs.
