50-inch 'HD Ready 1080p' KURO with Direct Colour Filter 3+

 
iF Design Award 2008

‘KURO’ means black in Japanese. But not just any black. Perfect black.

And in the television world, black is everything.

That’s because black encompasses the entire spectrum of colour. And so, the deepest blacks create the richest colours.

With KURO, our engineers have managed to create black levels
that are 80% deeper than previously possible in a flat-screen TV.

Europe's best full-hd plasma TVWhat this means is that you now see greater contrast and number of shades between light and dark.

Nuances you perhaps haven’t noticed before are apparent. Angles become sharper. And shadows and depth gain their proper shape and texture, creating true dimensionality.

In short, KURO is a television that will let you see and hear like never before.

360 Degree ViewThis KURO was recently named Europe's best Full-HD plasma TV. The award came from EISA, a jury of editors from Europe's top consumer electronics magazines.
