Pioneer Intros 50-inch 1080p Plasma

Pioneer at CES unveiled a 50-inch 1080p plasma that will carry an MSRP of about $10,000. The Pioneer Elite PureVision PRO-FHD1 plasma with 1920 X 1080 resolution can up convert all other video sources for improved HD image detail, color accuracy and fast moving image clarity. It will accept sources from 720p and 1080i to DVD and Blu-ray Disc, and will automatically convert it to deliver the highest resolution picture possible.

Also notable is the Pure Crystal Emissive Layer sandwiched between the plasma glass and the individual light cells, which conducts energy more efficiently so each cell is charged and discharged at a faster rate, improving contrast and brightness while using less energy. Swift charge and discharge of individual pixels results in a smoother transition from color to black for blacker blacks and increased detail in dark scenes.
