Pioneer Kuro line of TVs: The End

March 2010 will be a sad time for Pioneer Corp (6773.T), as they will be killing of their line TV’s and the first to fall was the Kuro Plasma line. This was a true tipping point in the TV industry. As it shows, that Plasma TV’s is a dying market, thanks to a global recession as well as the popularity of LCD.

Pioneer Corp (6773.T), has said that they will now concentrate their business on the car and audio/visual systems market. This shows how quickly things can change in the consumer electronics market. Just one year ago, Pioneer had CES buzzing with the launch of their new Ultimate Black Kuro TV.
