Yeah, apparently these Pioneer Kuro 60" are considered the best of

still superior to the best LCDs and even LEDs. Get them while you
can, we're
told, because Pioneer is in the process of phasing them out.
Is that the case David?
I have the 50" Kuro, and my brother has the 60". I've never seen
displays comparable to these. And yes, Roger, I have also heard
rumors that they are being phased out. The prices have dropped
considerably (as have all plasma displays). The 60" initially sold
for nearly $6,500, and it now goes for around $3,500. B&H shows them
"back-ordered" with no expected date of availability. There are still
some around, though. And I agree - the viewing angle is incredible,
and the blacks are as black as I've ever seen on a display. None of
the flicker that you often see on LCDs, either.
Pioneer has recently provided a firmware update for both (April/May),
which is a good sign.

That said, I'm not sure this would be the best choice for a
classroom. There are certainly advantages to a bright projector.
The Pioneer plasma displays have a highly reflective glass face, and
the viewing experience is without question best in a dimly lit room.
