Well I had a great Christmas with friends and family and I got a bunch of the latest and greatest games I asked for but reality hit when I got back home. I hooked up the cheap 26" 720p T.V I'd been using the last couple of years and for some reason it won't display my PS3 in HD anymore. I moved into my new place a couple of weeks ago and am looking for a T.V that would be good for mostly streaming Netflix and gaming in the 2k-2.5k range. I'd go a couple hundred higher if it was something really solid. None of the rooms it would go in have any problems with natural lighting and it will be wall mounted. Edit: Any opinions on Samsung? Specifically the UN60ES8000F or should I just suck it up and go with a Sony XBR? Any other brands or models I should be looking at? Cenen fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Dec 29, 2012 |

Panasonic Plasmas seem to be pretty popular around here and are getting rave reviews around the net. Any drawbacks to plasma Vs LED? I'm pretty much stuck between the Samsung ES8000 and the Panasonic TC-P65VT50. I'm pretty sure at this tier they should both be pretty good products but I just want something that when I pop my copy of Black Ops 2 in I go "nice". A quick answer would also be appreciated since there is a CRAZY good deal on the TC-P65VT50 that is over by the 1st.

Thanks for the reply! What's the deal with input lag being such a big deal now? I don't think I ever really heard of it before the last couple of years. I used to play COD 4 on some mid range Sony Bravia back in the day and I don't think I ever really had a problem. Is it just something about input lag with newer TV's being worse or is it more or less the same and it just gets brought up because it exists?

Holy crap everyone on the web loves the P65VT50 until I went on the AVS forum and saw page after page of those guys talking about IR and image burn. Now I know most of them are probably super nit picky enthusiast but it's got me spooked now. It seems like a shame since everything I'm reading is that while the ES8000 is a great TV the P65VT50 is better.

Baaaah I went my whole life with mid range TV's with mid range screen sizes and was perfectly happy. Reading about IR this and ghosting that and clouding when you watch a perfectly red screen at a 60 degree angle totally takes the fun out of this. Hopefully I can get to the best buy tomorrow and try and get a peak at a ES8000 since I can get one for $400 less then the Panasonic. Edit: Also my back button doesn't work on that AVS forums site and gently caress that noise it's inconvenient and the only other site that has done that to me was some virus laden porn site.

Got my Samsung 60" ES8000 Today. Black Ops 2 in full 1080p is loving magnificent. I haven't hung it or calibrated it yet but so far it looks amazing and the apps seem to work well enough so far. I haven't even scratched the surface with it yet but so far it is an amazing TV. Speaking of surface scratching, kitty took one swipe at the screen before he was quickly tossed out of and banned from the TV room until it gets hung.
