50-inch Full HD KURO MonitorComplete connectivity, intelligent design.Enjoy the best viewing experience possible, with a diverse range of connectivity options. Just 64 mm thin, this ’HD ready 1080p’ KURO screen is as versatile as you need it to be, making it the ideal candidate for use in a private home theatre, a living room or a professional setting.
As part of our KURO line-up the KRP-500M displays the deepest blacks and reproduces the most vivid colours, resulting in an unparalleled level of contrast.
The KRP-500M can recognise light, can tell day from night and analyses on-screen content in real time.

For those of you who are keen on picture purity, the new PURE AV selection mode brings the input signal to the screen as direct as possible, bypassing all typical picture enhancement processing.
Additionally, the KRP-500M features IP control for operation via a PC or other controller through a network, while the Web server function even enables access and control via a remote PC web browser. A multitude of HDMI inputs enable a quick and convenient connection to a broad range of source devices.
Greater convenience is at your fingertips, too. An integrated KURO LINK function enables you to control compatible connected devices through the straightforward remote control.
And in the television world, black is everything. Black encompasses the entire spectrum of colour. The deepest black levels produce the purest colours and the sharpest details.
Achieving the blackest blacks imaginable and building a screen that produces the absolute best picture quality in the world was the inspiration and driving force behind our newest flat screen TV.
KURO lets you see literally every shade between black and white; the most vivid and flawless colours.
The PDP-LX5090, one of our latest KURO TVs, is just 93mm thin and has an integrated digital terrestrial tuner.In short, KURO is a television that will let you see and hear like never before.
That’s why we’ve dedicated our energy to achieving blacks of unprecedented intensity; enabling you to see the deepest shades of black and the best picture possible.
When you cross the line and step into the world of KURO, you enter a new sensory space. Our highly sophisticated viewing solutions create a total experience that will change your perception of home entertainment forever.
We have succeeded in further reducing the idling luminance and improving black levels to a depth far greater than ever thought possible.
The result is a picture that possesses finer detail, greater contrast and richer colours – the reference in flat screen televisions.
By accuracy, we mean that the picture you see on screen is as true to the original as possible.
What you see is clear and accurate. Every time.
Regardless of how fast (or slow) the image is moving on screen, or how the lighting conditions on the actual video image change, you’ll see even the smallest details and the finest nuances in the best possible resolution.
The blacker the blacks, the better the colours and the more realistic the image appears on screen. KURO flat screen TVs display the deepest black levels possible because extreme contrast is at the very heart of the KURO concept.
KURO flat screen TVs and projectors are compatible with the 1080p/24 signals from Blu-ray players, which means that the latest in high definition video is within your reach.
The top-of-the-line KURO TVs are DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) certified. This means they can simply be integrated into a home or local area network and play content such as music or photos from one or more connected media servers. This media content is directly available through the plasma’s Home Media Gallery function, nicely integrated in a new, modern-looking Graphical User Interface (GUI).
KURO LINK guarantees easy operation. It lets you control the main functions of compatible Pioneer equipment with the TV’s remote control.
By using advanced image processing to monitor the brightness of each video frame the backlight adjustment function adjusts the backlight intensity accordingly, creating seamless transitions with deep blacks and increased detail. The ambient light sensor optimises on-screen images according to the brightness of the room.
Once calibration is completed, the ISF display modes are enabled and the settings are locked to eliminate any accidental changes.
Two settings are available to match your actual viewing conditions: one for bright daytime light conditions and one for evening situations when artificial lights are dimmed. All of the original display modes are still selectable and user adjustable with no effect on the ISF calibrated settings. ISF C3 is designed for professional picture perfect calibration.

The sun shines brighter on Pure Vision Pioneer Plasma TV, thanks to True Matrix Imaging. Pioneer's exclusive technology works like this: the Deep Waffle-shaped Rib Structure increases the area of light-emitting phosphors —increasing the brightness. Each plasma cell is deeper, encapsulated with horizontal ribs, so emitted light won't leak into neighbouring cells. This deep cell structure means higher brightness. When one million tiny coloured fluorescent lamps fire at once, viewers will experience full-on, pure colour intensity.

Like never before
Go beyond. Immerse yourself in a world where colours can be felt, sounds can be tasted and it all comes together to create something unlike anything that has ever existed. And nothing will be the same again. Motion
KURO has grown out of our passion for the art form of the moving picture. Regardless of what you are watching – of how fast (or slow) the image is moving on screen, or how the lighting conditions on the actual video image change, you’ll see even the smallest details and the finest nuances in the best possible resolution.Contrast
Contrast ratio answers the question of how black blacks can get on a flat screen television. The blacker the blacks, the better the colours and the more realistic the image appears on screen. KURO flat screen TVs display the deepest black levels possible because extreme contrast is at the very heart of the KURO concept.Colour
KURO flat screen TVs accurately reproduce red, green and blue with smooth, delicate gradations - even in the darkest film scenes. By accuracy, we mean that the picture you see on screen is as true to the original as possible. What you see is clear and accurate. Every time.Black levels
To create the deepest blacks in a flat screen TV, it is necessary to create a world completely absent of colour or light reflection. We have succeeded in further reducing the idling luminance and improving black levels to a depth far greater than ever thought possible. The result is a picture that possesses finer detail, greater contrast and richer colours – the reference in flat screen televisions.In the television world, black is everything.
Since black encompasses the entire spectrum of colour, the ability to produce the deepest blacks results in the ability to generate the richest colours.
KURO flat screen TVs create black tones of such depth and purity that every detail, every colour, every shade comes brilliantly alive.
