Why would I ever need a TV that big? Looks cool but kinda useless except for bragging. | ||

I actually am studying to become a professional tv calibrator and know quite a few famous people in the home theater business. The number one and most important aspect of picture quality is the black level of you tv. A deep inky black brings pop and realness to anything in the screen. The second most important aspect is color accuracy, followed by motion resolution. Hell I currently own the Sharp Elite, which cost 7500$ and is almost as good as the Pioneer 500krpm, but not quite. The only tvs I can even recomment today that can come close to the hailed Pioneer Kuro is the Panasonic vt50, for its .002 measured black level and 99% color accuracy, and then the Sharp Elite, which I own, because of its .0004 black level reading, superb black to white contrast and fairly accurate color accuracy. The only thing that will be better will be OLED since they can measure infinite black, which is unheard of right now. | ||

The bigger question would be whether or not this is worth the price premium over the 70" Sharp Elite, as I mentioned before. What you get is 5 extra inches as well as much thinner bezels but you are paying $10,000 more. For $10,000 you can buy one mean home theater system as well as a HTPC/digital media receiver that will be better than any smart TV feature. | ||

This tv WILL NOT compare to the Sharp Elite, because the Elite has way way more local dimming zones than any other LED display, so its screen uniformity is perfect and its haloing is almost completely negligible. Still though, even the Elite doesn't measure as black as a modded Pioneer 500krpm and Pioneer Elite 101fd, which measure below .0002 which is better than the Sharp Elite's .0004. When all said and done, the Sharp Elite is the best LED LCD display by far and will be the best that LCD technology will ever achieve. Another plus side of it, is that it doesn't shut off when fed a full black screen, which a lot of other LED displays do, which cheat measurements. | ||

The same could be said about the Sharp Elite, which has much worse color accuracy, motion resolution, and overall picture quality than a 65vt50 that is $3000 dollars cheaper. | ||

I think this situation is a little bit different. There is no fear to be had from Plasmas these days. Also, they provide the best picture quality over anything that is not an OLED. The Pioneer Elite 9.5G Kuro has better black levels than the Sharp Elite and better color accuracy the Panasonic vt50 plasma. | ||

This is where its at, and for well over a year now too: Runs for hundreds of thousands. I forget what I scoped out before but at one point it was over $500000. | ||
