I've read so many different things the past few weeks. But I keep coming back to this set being the best buy. The current price is 1499 and come with 2 3d glasses and 3d blu ray player

Me and my wife sit at about 11-12ft depending on the recline position and our two kids sit in their game rockers at about 6-7ft. We have the ps3 and will be playing games and watching BD's as well as H def programs. We have checked on all the 3d displays and it might be cool to have but with the fact that the samsungs are going to be changing their eyeglass technology to bluetooth(non backward) for better reception and more eyeglass options I think maybe I should wait for the 2011's if I really have to have the 3d(although it will be a small percentage of the time that it might be used). I am actually not making my purchase until mid march ( I know availability might factor in) but I want to be ready when it is time to "PULL THE TRIGGER". Thanks

I am hoping that the samsung PN59D6500 with a bundle will be available at a price that I am comfortable with. The panny st30 55" or 60" might also be an option but I am a bit concerned with the black level issues not being fixed. I would also think about a C7000 if the price is right but because of the buzz issues and the IR versus the new bluetooth technology for the eyeglasses it might be better to coin up for the 2011's.

This is my first post on the forums although I have been lurking around AVS sight since I joined and should add contributed.

The forums have been a tremendous resource for gathering information on todays technology BUT I imerssed myself so much in reading many comments, reviews, discussions and in some cases arguments that I literally was getting to a point of confusion and dispair because there are as many opionions and views as there are model numbers for todays TV's and Monitors.

Anyway I was really leaning towards the newer LCD/LED models like the XVT series but after reading and studying about that technology I decided to look further into the Plasma's since they may better fit my needs and price range.

Like any electronic device there are flaws, strengths and weaknesses and it can be a daunting task to make a decision, again, its even more difficult when your exposed to a plefora of information like we have here at the AVS forums.

The bottom line is I want to THANK YOU for your excellent insight on this series of Plasmas. I was very pleased when I stumbled across your post because you have the same sort of environment and needs for your TV that I would have, that being useage, gaming and movies and price.

Your post, pretty much sealed the deal for me and I have decided that I am going to get the C7000 model. At this point, I may wait a little while and see if there are any clearance prices, so I may latch onto a larger screen size for a deal.

Thanks again keep it up

Samsung did not see the need to add a fan to the unit so I wouldn't worry about it (of course, if they had everyone would be complaining about fan noise). I'm sure their engineers know more about the tolerances of the unit than we do.

Do you remember how hot CRTs got?

Nov. 2010 build, excellent PQ, no buzzing. Too good to pass up, rather not wait 3-6 months for prices to drop on 2011s. And 2010s still have analog audio out which I prefer to have, as 2011s have eliminated it. Very pleased with recent clearance purchase of this TV and Panny 50GT25 for $899. Will pass on 2011 models but still interested in performance reports.
