No chance of seeing the 8th generation units in the UK until sept./Oct. at the earliest. Recent article also suggests that initially the units will be in short supply.
Shame, Sept. is going to seem like forever. Looks potentially like Pioneers new displays are going to wipe the floor with all the existing UK competition.
I was going to buy the 507 but this set doesn't do 1080 p
Is it worth waiting for the new sets.
I will be using my PS3 for Blu ray and will get a HD dvd deck when the price comes down a bit.
will I notice the differance with a 50" from 9 FT.
Dave.
Surley 8th gen 50" pio's will be 1080p if so then they won't be 1366 x 768 more likley 1920 x 1080 ?
The 50" will be 1366x768
The 42" will be 1024x768
The replacement for the 5000 will be 1080p 1920x768
The cost of the new technology plus 1080p will make them very expensive.
And 1080p is just not neccessary really at 42" & 50"
you mean 1920 x 1080 but neccesary or not that is where we are going
Having said that, the 50 has just gone up 300 quid at empire direct.
No I mean the replacement for the 427 will remain 1027x768 and the 507 replacement will still be 1366x768.
The replacement for the 5000 which is already 1920x1024 will be 1920x1024.
That is because you need to go well over 50" to really see the difference.
Pioneer know this it, more pixels do not mean better picture. You need to have a decent processing engine, that is why the cost of a decent 1920x1024 will be high as the 5000 is.
mate please click the link below - how can a true 1080p not have the relevant res. You are incorrect i hate to say.

Hate to burst your Pioneer bubble, but it's the same old hype every year. They are, in practical terms, very very little different to this years models. They've re-introduced media box models, that's about it.
