Europe's best plasma TV named

The European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) has granted the prestigious “European Plasma-TV 2008-2009” award to our PDP-LX6090 KURO plasma TV.

The ‘HD ready 1080p’ KURO TV won over the knowledgeable EISA jury with its exceptional black levels that result in finer details and greater contrast.

EISA's award for Europe's top plasma TVEISA is the largest editorial multimedia organisation in Europe, with a membership of 49 audio, mobile electronics, video and photo magazines drawn from 19 European countries.

Every year a panel of judges comprising the editors-in-chief from all EISA member magazines selects outstanding products and technologies across a wide range of audiovisual product categories.

The main highlight of the award winner is, according to the EISA jury, its exceptionally good picture quality:

“The Pioneer PDP-LX6090 is a superb plasma TV whose advanced functions bring out the very best results from Blu-ray, DVD and standard TV signals. Thanks to an amazingly low black level – Pioneer calls it KURO – this set’s contrast ratio is sky-high. The result is an impression of immense depth and crisp detailing, the like of which have not been seen on a plasma TV before.”

The Critics' Choice: PDP-LX6090 KURO Plasma TV

The PDP-LX6090’s ability to handle 24p signals and its intelligent optimisation features were also honoured:

“Professional users can tune to ISF standards, to view films exactly as their directors intended: 1080p/24 with correct colours and cinema-like movements at 72 frames per second. However, myriad other settings are equally accessible through a lavishly specified menu system. The final layer of optimisation is a light sensor that automatically enhances the picture in response to individual room lighting conditions.”

The PDP-LX6090 is part of the 93 mm KURO plasma TV line-up. Other flat screen TVs within this range include the 50-inch PDP-LX5090 and the more advanced PDP-LX5090H and PDP-LX6090H that offer SD/HD Terrestrial and Satellite TV reception, a DLNA compliant ‘Home Media Gallery’ and a refined user interface. All models provide an equal level of picture quality and performance.


Sharing the inner workings and features of these KURO plasma TVs, the KRP-600A and KRP-500A 64 mm models come with a separate media receiver (available as from September and October, respectively). With their thin depth these screens contribute handsomely to any interior without distracting, be it wall-mounted or on a stand. The KRP-500M (available October) and KRP-600M monitors follow in these footsteps and offer excellence to those who demand nothing but the best plasma screen.

We recently introduced two KURO-branded ‘HD ready 1080p’ Full HD LCD TVs - the 32-inch KRL-32V and the 37-inch KRL-37V - that deliver industry-leading black levels and 1080p performance. A third LCD TV, the 46-inch KRL-46V, will be available in October.
