I've got a Pioneer plasma at home, and I've never been shy about professing my love for it and how much better it is than nearly every LCD I've seen.

But, damn, Pioneer is blowing my mind again.

Here in Las Vegas at CES, Pioneer is demoing their "Extreme Contract Concept," which has the blackest blacks I've ever seen.

The picture above doesn't do it justice, but basically they're comparing this concept technology with their current line of Kuro plasmas. The Kuros are probably the best plasma I've seen, and this technology blows it away.

On the concept model, the blacks are just as black as the TV's bezel. The Kuro looks like it has a gray background.

On the concept, the picture floats. When the content on the concept doesn't fill up the whole TV, it literally looks 3-D.

It's just floating in the air. And my mouth is hanging wide open.

Since it's a concept, there's no launch date or pricing, but this is definitely going on my technology wish list — whenever it's available.
