Go for the Panasonic X1 as you won't need 1080p. Don't worry about burn-in, it's not a problem anymore.

Get the X1 and avoid drowning in the hype. Both will look amazingly good in your living room, the only time you'd notice the difference is if they were side by side. The X1 obviously has much more bang for the buck. I spent $1400 on a...

The B850/860 are basically just thinner versions of the B650. They also have an upgraded anti-glare filter (and the 6 series has an upgraded filter vs. the 5 series) but I don't know how much of an upgrade it is. I have a B650 and love...

Great idea for a thread. My only concern is that there is probably some input lag on your computer monitor too. Especially if you have one of the newer ones with dynamic contrast or other image processing. So that might skew the results.
