Best 60in TV around 1500$ for use in the basement ? Still Plasma? Panasonic?

For your price limit you may also want to take a look at the Samsung H5000 which can be had for ~1500 for the 64". It comes out next week I believe. The other recommendations made by KoF are very solid as well.

Thanks for the feedbacks.


Im now hesitating between the 65 inches S60 or the 60in ST60... Is the ST60 really different from the S60? I saw an interesting deal on the S60 in 65 inches; A demo (OB) but just for decoration of a living room in a furniture store. Apparently almost never turned on. But then I saw in the electronic section of the store the S60 and ST60 side by side with fast moving pictures, and I admit there is a difference, even for a neophyte like me.


Also KOF, why should I hurry?


Thanks again!

Because Panasonic plasmas are basically finished. They have ceased production. What there is right now is all that is left, so the deals will dry fast.


The ST60 has about 33% better blacks (0.0018 fL vs. 0.0024), better motion resolution (800 lines vs S60's 700, but the S60's also plagued with phosphor trailing), much brighter picture (if that matters. If you're used to plasmas, then the S60's brightness will serve just fine), and less dithering (I almost didn't buy the S60 because of that. Glad it's not much of an issue), 3D, much better calibration options, and an anti-reflective filter to make it worthwhile. If the 65 inches S60 and 60 inches ST60 are about the same price, I recommend going with the ST60, but if you prefer going with the biggest you can afford, there's nothing wrong with the S60 either. Even against the likes of the VT60, the S60 is not going to be an embarassment.

SIMON plasma is still best choice for lowest price best picture and motion .


2nd panasonic cease making plasma and have left the plasma technology .


3rd if you are sensitive to speed then a new samsung plasma will be best choice


4 for under 8xx you can get a 60 inch plasma samsung.

First, is Plasma still the best choice in 2014?


If yes, which ones around 1500$ ? Panasonic?


Would be mainly to watch sports and movies and for some gaming.


Thanks!!

the 8000 samsung is a lcd i believe .. and lcd are inferior product .


out of the three i would say the panasonic but they are no longer being made as

panasonic cease making plasma.

Does that GT50 even come with a warranty? That's a previous year version of the 60 series. The ST60 is always respected around here, so have a look and decide if you like it.

all tvs have manufactured warranty , the dates on each one will vary.

Well, of course. Just curious that the GT50 is still sold NIB.

Yes the GT50 is still sold, only few remaining. With the same waranty as any other. This one to my eye was looking very good.

Wether you choose the ST60 or the GT50, you will be pleased, they are both excellent tv's. But I would move fast because once they are gone, they are gone. Also if you game at all , the input lag is better on the GT50 if that interest you. Picture quality you can judge for yourself.
