Službeno najavljeni Pioneer Kuro LCD-i za Europu

Prema objavi za medije, čini se da je Pioneer održao svoje obećanje i krenuo u proizvodnju Kuro serije LCD zaslona. Tako već u kolovozu ove godine možete očekivati dva modela - KRL-32V i KRL-37V (32, odnosno 37" dijagonale), te 46-inčni model oznake KRL-46V kasnije ove godine. Svi navedeni modeli uključuju visoko-kontrastni filter s prijeda, tri HDMI priključka i 100 Hz procesiranje. Cijena još nije poznata, a još više od cijene će biti zanimljivije doznati hoće li Pioneer i na LCD-ima uspjeti postići iznimnu crnu boju, dostojnu imena Kuro (jap. crno). U nastavku slijedi službeno izvješće na engleskom jeziku. Three KURO-branded Full HD LCD TVs will be available in Europe from August. The LCDs feature an upscale design and come with a high-contrast front filter, three HDMI ports and 100Hz processing to offer an unparalleled fast-moving picture performance. The line-up includes the: 32-inch KRL-32V 37-inch KRL-37V 46-inch KRL-46V Our award-winning KURO plasma TVs have been described as the best in the world. With these new LCD TVs, we want to offer increased flexibility and fulfil the demand for a premium HD experience regardless of home environment or screen size. By taking full advantage of our extensive plasma know-how, our LCD TVs will deliver industry-leading black levels and 1080p performance. The result is an LCD picture that closely matches the visual experience of a plasma picture. The KRL-32V and KRL-37V LCD TVs will be available in August. The 46-inch version will become available later this year. Refreshing design Whether on or off, KURO LCD TVs are a feast for the eyes. With an attractive brushed aluminium look and sleek design the LCD models exude discreet class and harmonise perfectly with any contemporary interior decor. Thanks to their thin profile with slim bezel they are the ideal screens to enjoy bigger pictures in smaller spaces. The KRL-32V and KRL-37V rest upon a matte removable black swivel stand that provides a 15-degree swivel, which makes it easy to move the screen for optimal viewing. Both models can be operated by an ingeniously hidden set of buttons on top, or using a classy aluminium preset remote control. The series integrate under-mounted speakers that blend into the design and output a clear sound. Unmatched picture performance The KURO LCD TV range is ‘HD ready 1080p’ and offers superior picture quality. It's 100Hz processing ensures smooth, flowing motion in action scenes and an overall immersive experience. The front filter enhances contrast, colour definition and sharpens the picture. An automatic backlight adjustment function results in enhanced black levels and deep, accurate colours, while an additional ambient light sensor optimises on screen images according to the brightness of the room. The series boasts an impressive viewing angle of 176 degrees from top to bottom and from left to right, allowing for advanced installation flexibility and colours that appear vivid and consistent virtually anywhere in the room. Advanced connectivity The KURO LCD range features three HDMI inputs, with the KRL-46V sporting one on the side for straightforward connectivity. The HDMI inputs are compatible with 1080p/24 signals from Blu-ray players, giving access to the latest in high definition video. A PC input turns the TV into a computer monitor, allowing for working, gaming and more on a large screen. With the combined analogue/digital terrestrial tuner a host of TV programmes can be received in outstanding quality. The LCDs support KURO LINK to control the main functions of other Pioneer equipment with the TVs’ remote control.
