If you ever wanted a Plasma this is basically your last chance to do it.

Picked this up:Samsung - 60" Class (59-9/10" Diag.) - Plasma - 1080p - Smart - 3D - HDTV - Black

The F8500 Series is stellar and the picture on this thing is god damn amazing

Still loving my Panny VT. It's too bad plasma wasn't pushed more. Thing of beauty

Like it? I love all of the Plasma sets I've purchased and I came across this deal as well. Think I'm going to pull the trigger, seems like a complete no brainer at the price point.

I hear ya. I got negged in the "fuck cancer" thread for stating that since I had my kid late in life in afraid they won't have their grandparents in their life as adults. Wtf? Someone can find offense in anything.

I got negged in the Michael Brown thread for being logical and making sense?!

Its as good as the 2013 year of Panasonic Plasmas. Probably comparable to the VT series, nothing will ever compare to a 2013 ZT Panny though. I have been loving it, at this price point you will find nothing comparable. One thing to note is this is the best plasma ever made for a room that has outside light coming in, its damn near glare immune.

I wish it wasn't 3D, so it would be even less.

Although it's out of my price point no matter what. This is the one I've been looking at for a new bedroom TV...

Amazon.com: Samsung UN32EH5000 32-Inch 1080p 60Hz LED TV: Electronics

It's the same price on Samsung, but Paypay Credit has no payments, no interest for 6 months on any purchase over $200 from Samsung... so it's quite tempting.

Edit: This TV looks even better, and the 40" is cheaper than the 32"! haha

Amazon.com: Samsung UN32H6350 32-Inch 1080p 120Hz Smart LED TV: Televisions Video

Ended up getting the Sony 40'' from Best Buy for $300. So far so good. It's about the right size for an apartment.

Looking for a couple TV deals today if anyone knows of anything.

We need something small 24"+ for the workout room. Wife had an old school fat tv, can't hook up the blu-ray player to it. Not looking for anything special but trying to avoid the absolute cheap stuff like Dynex. Think there's a 24" Samsung for $129.

Also anything relatively cheap on a 32"-40" TV. Again nothing special, just something for the bedroom to hook the PS4 up to when my wife is watching retarded shows downstairs. I have no preference on any features, just looking for a cheap tv.

Here you go Noodle

Samsung 40 LED Smart HDTV plus $100 Dell Promo eGift Card 12-01-2014 - Slickdeals.net

40" Samsung LED for $327, and they send you a $100 gift card a couple weeks later, use that to buy the small TV. Here's a 24" Samsung that would be $27 after gift cardhttp://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=A7886591

Sweet I will check that out!

It really pisses me off that they don't offer non-SmartTVs in the 50+ size ranges. I hate having to pay 100-200$+ for features I literallyneveruse.

They have to put all of those "features" into TV's because they want to keep them price-locked around the same range and can't justify it without yearly additions.

I finally got around to watching something in 3d (Avengers) on the XBR55X850B, and my god was it a horrible experience. I'm not sure if it was the TV or poor post-process 3d, but the primary focus of the shot would split into three side-by-side images. Gave me a damn migraine. TV's still beautiful for everything else, though, so I'm not really disappointed if the 3d is complete ass.

You either have your 3D settings fucked, you were sitting off to the side, or you're one of those people that just can't see 3D effects.

Your TV or the 3D in the movie being bad are the least likely options.

Both the Samsung and LG 55" Smart TVs I was looking at come in non-smart versions, a couple hundred cheaper as you say. Don't think Costco carries them but Amazon had them with prime shipping and Best Buy had them when I was shopping around too.

I'll go through the settings and see if anything looks weird. I thought it might have been that we were off center, so I moved around the couch at different angles and that didn't help. The girlfriend saw the same out-of-focus effect that I did, and neither of us have had any problems at movie theaters (TV's passive).

Your left/right could be reversed, your effect strength may be too high, or you may have a manual offset applied without realizing. Is this the first 3D movie you've watched on it? Initial settings take some tweaking, but should be fine for all content once figured out.
