Actually, these aren’t TV’s per se. They’re monitors, with no TV tuners built in. They aren’t 10g sets, either, they’re 9g just like the 5020 and 6020, 111 and 151, etc. Apparently, they’re very similar to the 141 signature series without the “Elite” type features such as ISF ccc profiles and of course no TV tuners. They are intended to be used by custom installers who are installing total theater systems.

Sad news, I love my 8th gen Pioneer PDP-6010FD and can attest to just how amazing those panels are. These new 10g panels must be incredible, but I’m sure that it will be nearly impossible to get your hands on one of the 500 60″ models available (probably already been sold).
