Anyone has any bad experiences from it? And also, when doing a search @ Google the prices vary A LOT! From $4000 down to $2000 aproximately. Are they the same sets? If so, why that difference?
Discussion is locked
My advice is to also consult with a specialty forum such as AVS to locate a decent price/dealer near where you live. Buying from the less than reputable online sources to save a couple hundred dollars can be more trouble than it's worth IMHO.

If it only was a couple of $100, but it turns out to be up to a couple of $1000!
See the links that I provided in my other post.
it's on sale now for $3000. Not able to compare what you saw; I would say $2000 is a darn good price (but be sure it is identical TV though).
they went up! But there is still an amazingly huge price range.
Actally here you can find it for under $2000!
in/near Center City, Philidephia; If you live close to that area, that might be the places to check it out. If not then you have to think about the shipping charge and in case of return, etc.
...and possibly have to deal with a return or a damaged shipment. At that point you might regret shopping online by price only.
Do yourself a favor and read up in the PDP forum @ AVS. Many folks have had their eyes on the Kuro line and have the exact concerns you do regarding this purchase. Check it out, the Kuro's all the rage over there right now. The general accepted price I've seen discussed most is around $2500 ballpark.

PANASONIC, including KUROS screens; I'd be looking at few PANNYs
as well.
Can you tell the difference?
PIONEER ELITE series has PIONEER electronics;
the rest have PANASONIC innards.
Best shopping,
Riverledge.
See my other reply. That's in the upcoming 10G models and not the current 9th gen panels.
cheers,
Pedro
