Got $9000 To Spare? Pioneer's Elite KURO Projector Hits The US

Pioneer Electronics is making a move to spread the KURO brand beyond the plasma TV frame with the introduction of the new Elite KURO projector. Also known as the Pioneer KURO KRF-9000HD across the pond in the UK, Pioneer claims the Elite KURO brings the same black levels and 1080p picture to the screen as the industry-leading KURO plasma TV's and features 3 viewing modes-standard, dynamic, and movie-to take full advantage of the KURO technology by tweaking it to best display the type of content being watched. Designed for the custom-install market, the Elite KURO projector features advanced calibration, LCoS 1080p technology, wide lens shift, dual HDMI 1.3 support, and a variety of other features allowing the viewer to tweak the picture to the most optimal level possible. The Pioneer Elite KURO projector will ship in June through the company's Elite dealer channel, but it'll cost you a giant chunk of change. Price: $9000.
