I know these 9G tvs have hdmi 1.3 but does anybody know if they have the features of 1.3 like Deep Color and Xv Color?

^Tbh at this point it doesn't matter. Blu-Ray is the current top format available commercially, and it only specifies 8-bit color in the spec. The features are very much useless with out a source that supports them.

If you are in to video games however, I'm pretty sure it would support RBG color space.

It really depends on the area regarding which shipper gets used but they are held responsible the same.

Thanks for the reply Brian. I've read a lot of good things about Roman and I will definitely be contacting him as soon as he is ready to take orders.

It appears that networking capabilities of the 5020/6020 are equal to the 8G 150 and 151/161. Would this be correct? This means that the differentiation between the elite/non-elite is now almost entirely just calibration capabilities. Am I missing something?

I thought I would wait for the first reviews to come out on the Elite 151FD before purchasing, but as the days pass, I'm wondering if supplies will run out. Is there a chance that a month or two after the release, Pioneer will run out of 151FDs? Do you think they will be difficult to get after that?

If you don't remember last year, they ran out extremely quick, I would place your order as soon as you can.

I would think this time Pioneer will increase their production. They lost lots of sales because of that and this time they have no excuse to not expect a high demand for their displays, specially the fact this will be the last "all parts" generation Pioneer.

I want to place an order soon, but I might wait a bit to expect prices to drop at least 20% of the MSRP. $6,500 for the Elite 60" is a lot of ca$h!

No one really knows the answer to this question but that doesn't stop people from speculating.

For pricing discussion. It's because Tweeter has an offer for the PRO111FD at 4499.99, with 20% down BUT with shipping costs TBD, and the deal has to be made via email since they don't have an online shop for it! Is this a smart way to shop? i can wait until december if need be, will the prices be lower then? Thanks!

I wouldn't risk missing your chance, you never know what there stock could be. I would ask one of the authorized dealers in your area about it.

There are other differences, such as speaker position and color space 2, but I am also very interested in knowing if the Home Gallery support is identical across the 9G lines. This was the main reason I was going with Elite, as this plasma will be for daily HDTV (Dish HD and OTA) viewing (not Home Theater), so will not be professionally calibrated.

Does anyone know whether the 9G Kuro's have the CableCard functionality? Thanks.

The Cable Card Functionality is gone on the 9G's.

Do I take this to mean that panel buzz emanating from the glass itself will persist as a problem? That is, for those of us who were "sensitive" to that issue with the 8G's, we can expect no change with the 9G's?

The firing sequence has not be changed in a way to resolve the panel buzz.

That would be very disapointing.

Agreed, but it is hard to set aside the comments of someone at D-Nice's level.

I agree with not setting aside his comments, but lets just wait and see.

For all who are sending me PM's about Elite Pricing. Invision does not carry the Elite line and therefore will not have pricing for it. Pioneer has rules about selling elites online and we follow it by not selling them. When I have pricing on the 20 series I will be glad to send you a PM. Thanks.

The Elite Signature Series is higher than the regular Elite line. Invision will not sell either one.
