Kuro is the future of Pioneer flat-panel displays.

Kuro is the future of Pioneer flat-panel displays.
It’s a world without boundaries.
A place where the senses evolve, colours are felt and sounds can be tasted.
An experience that changes not only the way you look at television,
but the way you look at the world.
In short, Kuro takes you beyond anything you have ever imagined.
To a place where you will see and hear like never before.

lack like never before
Black is everything. Black breathes life into colour. Black brings forth detail.
Black creates dimension and space. Black is where great images are born.
Painters start with a white canvas, televisions start with black. The deeper blacks enable
the television to work from a larger palette and create a wider range of colours.
Everything the director intended, everything the creator envisioned, from the subtlest nuance
to the most powerful picture, ends up where it was meant to be, on the screen in front of you.
Not surprisingly, as Kuro literally means “black”, it is something it does like nothing else.
Creating an infinite abyss at the very source, through a revolutionary technology capable of reducing
light at rest by 80%. Which means truer, deeper, denser blacks than have ever been possible.
Greater contrast, richer detail, remarkable subtlety, vibrant textures and dimension.
The result will take your breath away, finally fulfilling the near limitless
promise of plasma television by producing the most astonishing, lifelike, transcendent
and emotionally powerful images ever seen on a television.

performance like never before
As revolutionary as the blacks are, they are just the beginning of what makes the Kuro so amazing.
Only part of what makes it like no other television, something you’ve never seen before. Images so pristine,
so perfect. A picture virtually without noise, blurring, distortion or inconsistencies.
The Kuro is something completely new. Something totally different.
Every feature has been rethought. Every contributing technology redesigned and reinvented
from the ground up. With a revolutionary new flat panel, a category redefining
colour filter, and a ground breaking video processor, the images on the Kuro are more vibrant and
life-like than any you have experienced on a television before.
And while each one of these advancements is an extraordinary technological achievement by itself,
they were not conceived of separately. They were not created in a vacuum but
rather designed to come together, producing something truly greater than the sum of its parts.
The Kuro is the result of a holistic approach, a conscious choice to ignore all the rules.
To disregard accepted limitations and barriers.
To reassess everything known about making a television, and instead make
something that stretches the limits of what might even be called a television anymore.

The Kuro sees.
The Kuro understands.
It can tell day from night, evaluate the environment and even analyse the picture it’s displaying.
It then does something truly intelligent.
It adjusts the picture settings.
All by itself.
But the most astonishing thing about all this brainpower is, you never actually see it working.
All you see is a picture that’s incredibly vivid, clear, crisp, and stunningly brilliant.
No matter what you are watching, when you are watching,
where you are watching,
you are experiencing television in a completely new way.

hearing like never before
The Kuro makes sound an integral part of the journey.
A completely reinvented audio system,
including digital amplification and beautifully balanced speakers create sound
that wraps itself around your ears and pours itself over your entire body.
With Kuro, you will truly see and hear like never before.

The Kuro will change the way you watch television. A picture so stunningly clear you can recognize
faces in a crowd. Motion has never been this realistic, this pure or this clear.
The revolutionary video processor takes the most demanding scenes, the fastest fast break, the most furious action, and
renders every scene with a clarity that has never been seen before in a home theatre.
Everything is clear, crisp, rich, and gorgeous. And we do mean everything.
Though high-definition is a major leap forward, much of what is broadcast today is still standard-definition. With The
Kuro, there is no need for compromise.

experience like never before
The Kuro is a complete experience.
With full 1080p performance, the Kuro delivers the highest resolution possible.
By doubling the number of pixels in the Kuro 1080p televisions to over 2 million,
the clarity of the picture far surpasses what is available in other home entertainment systems.
But no matter what Kuro you watch, you are witnessing a complete departure. A revolution.
We have reinvented television.

an endless sea of indistinguishable flat panels, and crossed the line into a whole new world.

Television (HDTV): HDTV refers to a complete product/system with the following minimum performance attributes: Receiver: receives ATSC terrestrial digital transmissions and decodes all ATSC Table 3 video formats. Display Scanning Format: has active vertical scanning lines of 720 progressive (720p), 1,080 interlaced (1,080i) or higher. Aspect Ratio:
capable of displaying a 16:9 image. Audio: Receives and reproduces, and/or outputs Dolby Digital audio (Consumer Electronics Association, August 2000). Plasma Display Systems display images consisting of hundreds of thousands of minute pixels (light emitting cells), and there is a possibility that some pixels may be inactive, flashing or continually
illuminated. All phosphor-based display systems may develop image retention, sometimes called burn-in if permanent. Recom-mended guidelines are as follows: Do not display still images for long periods. Do not display content in the 4:3 aspect ratio (black or gray bars on left and right side of content) or letter-box content (black bars above and below of
content) for extended periods of time, or use either of these viewing modes repeatedly within a short period of time. This Plasma Display System is equipped with the multiple wide-screen viewing modes to fill the entire screen with content. Displaying dark images after displaying still images for a period of time may cause image retention. In most cases, the
image retention can be corrected by displaying bright images for a similar period of time. However, if your Plasma Display System displays still images for additional long periods of time, image retention may be irreparable.
