"The Pioneer Kuros may soon be gone, but videophiles—Kuro owners or not—will not
forget them. Hopefully Pioneer will license the Kuro secret sauce to another
company to live again in another guise. But whether that happens directly or
not, other manufacturers who genuinely seek to provide consumers with the best
performance will take a very close look at what Pioneer has accomplished in its
last, and sadly final, generation of sets. Their challenge will be to bring
their own sets’ performance up to where Pioneer left off—and beyond. Hopefully
the competition to be not only the cheapest, but the best, will drive that
effort.
Whatever happens in that regard, we all owe a debt to every member of the
Pioneer team who was involved in engineering and building the Kuro plasmas. They
significantly advanced the state of the art in modern flat-panel displays. They
all have much to be proud of."
