New Plasma TVs From Runco
Proving that the death of plasma as a TV technology has been greatly exaggerated, Runco yesterday introduced a slew of new plasma TV models. Known for their high end video displays, Runco has been a pioneer in the home theater video arena.
Runco cut their teeth by combining high end video processing and advanced displays, then charging a premium price for their products. As can be seen from their latest efforts, things haven't changed much. Their new plasmas include the CinemaWall XP-OPAL50 and CinemaWall XP-OPAL65, both with integrated vidfeo processing. The PlasmaWall XP-OPAL50 DHD and PlasmaWall XP-OPAL65 DHD feature Runco's VIVIX DHD 3 external video processor and switching unit. The DHD 3 incorporates Runco's new generation VIVIX III processing.
What does Runco consider premium pricing? If you have to ask how much the Ruinco plasmas go for, you know what they say.....
In this case, the sets are definitely premium priced. The PlasmaWall XP-OPAL65 will set you back a hefty $15,495, while the least expensive / most value oriented unit, the CinemaWall XP-OPAL50 conmands only $6,995. It wasn't long ago that those were pretty representitive prices for flat panel displays, but those days are long gone. Runco has a well deserved reputation for delivering the goods with regard to picture quality, but these must be some pretty spectacular pictures.
