Covered in my show reports at the time.
Hi Andrew!
Did these Pioneer LCD's (KRL Series) actually have any "Kuro" tech in them? I have read that is not possible as "Kuro Technology" is specific only to Plasma & not LCD. On the other hand I have also read that that Pioneer put the same processing as the Kuro Plasmas and developed a special black filter screen amongst other things! Some have stated that they are pretty much rebadged Sharp TV's much like the Kuro Projectors were a rebadge of the JVC ones apparently.
Bazzy!
The Pioneer archive for the LCD KRL series clearly states "KURO"
