Pioneer blew everyone away with their new 60" plasma prototypes. They claim better than 20,000:1 contrast. They say they can't measure it any higher given todays test equipment. I wonder what Toshiba is using to measure the 50,000:1 contrast they claim they've achieved with SED?

The prototype was setup next to an older Pioneer with a 1,000:1 contrast rate. Is the difference noticable? Like the proverbial veil was lifted. This is the best plasma I've ever seen!

Expected date is before the Olympics in 2008. They're going to sell a lot of TVs.
