I wonder how this will fare since they sold the Kuro patents to Panasonic? Sounds more like a reinvention rather than a resurrection I guess.

"As a leader in large screen LCD TV, we are excited to collaborate with Pioneer to bring a high-end LCD TV to the Elite consumer," John Herrington , President of Sharp Electronics Marketing Company of America, said as part of the announcement. "

That would sound about right. I guess the Kuro tech really wouldn't apply here then (unless its a technology that could have led into LCD lines?)

If that comment had nothing to do with mine - then this conversation never happened :redface:
