I'm not surprised to see the F8500 win the general public vote. I had one and it is a really nice display. If it weren't for the brightness pops, I would still have it. In fact now that those are mostly fixed, I'm considering it again....

I'm torn with my decision again. I have a ZT on order, but can go back to the F8500 as well, now that they have the brightness pops fixed. However, both have flaws. I'm not sure if the brightness of the ZT60 will be a big deal, as that...
