In any case whether the colours of your Sony are good or not is not the topic being discussed. You have not even seen the F8500 and even so choose to talk trash about it. This is the F8500 discussion thread so lets please stick to that.

Hi . Just upgraded from my 4 yr old Panasonic 42 inch plasma to this 64 inch behemoth ... After experiencing plasma tech from past 4 yrs cud not even think of considering led. ...... Have clocked over 200 hrs. Can someone suggest best picture settings for a tubelit room ... though I know that picture settings preferences might differ from person to person but its always nice to know some kind of reference settings if available ....

Piss poor viewing angles,garbage real time black levels, pathetic image depth, fail triluminous technology which adds no meaningful improvement, handicapped technology which needs back light to display half decent image,over saturated colors and plastic non film like appearance, quick throw this thing in the garbage or hide under your bed for better picture.:lol:
so does this mean when it rains in a video your television becomes wet and water pours from the display panel?

More education for the illiterate, if you don't understand picture quality then that's fine and forgivable but don't post funny suggestions,comments and make a fool of yourself.

Guys: Honestly, in my experience neither photos or videos are a good comparison. They depend on a lot of variable parameters, equipment, etc. The best possible comparison is side by side with both displaying same content with optimum setting.
We did that a month back for almost an hour. Black levels are definitely better in F8500 while gaming was better in W950. I felt colors were much natural in F8500 but some of my friend liked W950's colors though they also said Samsung was most natural. This was clear when we viewed HD pictures. I felt 3D was better in W950.
Both are very good television. It boils down to an individual and what they like. Some may like the natural plasma some may like the bright LEDs, its purely a personal choice. There is no one winner in this, for example W950 is a winner for Invisible because it meets his needs whereas F8500 is winner for this thread guys because it meets their need.
So put a stop to this bickering and if you have any technical data to add, please do, but not images, videos, or some over the top statements.

I use the movie mode with cell light set at around 15 and contrast at 85, the rest should be according to your room lighting condition because that is the key. Also i turn of all unwanted processing so the image looks as less processed as possible.

No offense meant, but the colours in the photographs (the Samsung bunch) look over saturated. They do not look natural. It is almost like colour bleeding.
You are most welcome to correct me if I am wrong.

No they are not over saturated, the color is set well below the half way mark, the tone is a bit warm and that is how i like to watch movies, if you compare the brighter colors from the toy story and football match screen shots of the kuro and Samsung screen shots you will notice that it appears lighter than kuro.
Color bleeding is a totally different thing and none of the images i posted have color bleeding,some images are a bit blurry because i took these pics with the cam held in my hand.if there is bleed it will be easily noticeable in lighter backgrounds where the colors might look spread.
example of color bleeding.
Did anyone pic up the extended warranty on the 64" Plasma. Today i got a call from the folks who collect the cheque and give the extended warranty. The breakup they have given is below for 3 years warranty extension.
Basic price: 12600-00RS
VAT: 14.5% 1827-00RS
Service tax:12.5% 1557-00RS
TOTAL: 15984-00RS
Total cost is nearly coming 16k. Earlier i was told it would be around 14k.
If anyone has gone for the extended warranty on 64f8500. Please share the exact cost incurred and breakup of the same.
Now i am having second thoughts on spending 16k. Also in case of non part availability they would eventually buyback the product on depreciation. This is the same thing they did for my OOW tv. So the process for in warranty tv without parts is not much different.

I think if you are in warranty they have to either service you or replace with new tv.But not in case of without warranty, you will get less amount only.You need to beg them and wait for their actions in case of w/o warranty,if you have warranty ,they will act soon and give the replacement tv swiftly.You are ready to buy 2laks tv and not ready for spending additionally 16k is not justifiable that too for own good.Think again and get extended warranty and led life aramse.
The extended warranty document clearly has a clause that in case of non availability of parts, if they are not able to repair the TV they would buy back the same as per depreciation policy valid at that time.
Also i have gone through this process earlier with Samsung as they did not have parts for my OOW tv, which they bought back as ideally for 5 years from date of purchase they would service and support your tv regardless if it is in warranty or not. The process was smooth thought it took some time, i did not chase them for follow up also.
If anyone else has gone for extended warranty for this model would be interesting to know. How much they paid and what was the breakup. As somehow i feel the service tax is too high.
