Any idea what is the best price and where in Delhi/Gurgaon one might be able to get the TV at that price? I might be willing to buy two TVs in case of a good price.

The current lowest offer I know of is 1.88 in Pune - it is also available from Infibeam at that price -IF- you want to buy it online.

The lowest a friend of mine bought was 1.86 from J D I think.

Might or might not be, because there is very limited quantity available in the market. Usually, if the quantity available was higher it would be easy to scout for lower price. Given that its not available much, one needs to hunt and be lucky to find it.
So its a toss up between how desperate are you to get that extra 10k at the cost of losing buying the TV at current price.

But there has been no new Plasma TV announcement for 2014 by Samsung. OR for that matter by any manufacturer, period.
That's the reason i told folks who want to buy a Plasma, don't worry about 2014 models. If you are able to get your hands on one now,pick up the same. Tomorrow who knows what will happen.

FILM MODE
Cinema Smooth - Only available If your watching (FILM) content @( 1080p/24 )
which most BLU-RAY's are, That way you get proper Film Cadence of
4:4 to display @96hz/24p with no S.O.E
Auto 1 - Use this mode for (FILM) based content much like Cinema Smooth
This produces ZERO Soap Opera Effect as proven by Resolution master:
David Mackenzie at 2013 Value Electronics Shootout.
Auto 2 - Use this mode for (VIDEO) based content @( 60hz/30p ) for example If
your watching regular content like Satellite TV & DVD or INTERNET sources.
This setting uses 2:3 Pull-down to display @60hz/30p
This produces ZERO Soap Opera Effect as proven by Resolution master:
David Mackenzie at 2013 Value Electronics Shootout.
Dark Room - When turned-ON this will take your Black Level from 0.0049ft/L
to an extremely deep 0.0017ft/L. Samsung describes the Black Optimizer
as a feature that changes the reset timing to improve black levels.
This setting doesn't effect Gamma.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FirmWare Bug: Remember when you Turn Off Cinema Smooth in Film Mode
it turns On Motion Judder Canceler even thou it says Off. So you will have to
cycle MJC ON/OFF
Motion Judder Canceler is set to Standard in all preset picture modes.
This feature is best Turned Off for Film based content,
because it creates unnatural movement and lessens natural background blur aka
(The Soap Opera Effect). But it brings live Sports & 3D programming content to life,
by doing it's job and getting rid of judder with minimal negative effects.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRMWARE:
(Ver. 1112.1)
- Solves Floating Black Error when Cinema Smooth in ON
(Ver. 1116.1)
- Solves swipe motion could not move the picture to next picture.
- Solves Network Connection issue with Wireless router.
- Solves Brightness Popping issue.
- Supports more MSO in OnTV feature.
- Enhances Voice Recognition feature.
(Ver. 1116.1 & 1119.1 are the same as stated by Samsung Reps)
ps: Don't forget to ALWAYS unplug ALL HDMI's before Updating Firmware!
as this can cause other issues to occur.

The F8500 plasma series are also one of the first to natively support
the new h.265 HEVC codec, which is suspected to be used in the future
for delivery of 4K streamed content.
HEVC/H.265 is said to double the data compression ratio compared to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC at the same level of video quality. It can alternatively be used to provide substantially improved video quality at the same bit rate. It can support 8K UHD and resolutions up to 8192x4320.[1][2] The first version of the standard was completed and published in early 2013. Several extensions to the technology remain under active development, including range extensions (supporting enhanced video formats), scalable coding extensions, and 3D video extensions.
On April 13, 2013, HEVC/H.265 was approved as an ITU-T standard.[26][27][28] The standard was pre-published on the ITU-T website on April 18, 2013.
On September 11, 2013, ViXS Systems announced the XCode 6400 SoC which supports 4K resolution at 60 fps, the Main 10 profile of HEVC, and the Rec. 2020 color space.
On November 14, 2013, DivX developers released information on HEVC decoding performance using an Intel i7 CPU at 3.5 GHz which had 4 cores and 8 threads.[114] The DivX 10.1 Beta decoder was capable of 210.9 fps at 720p, 101.5 fps at 1080p, and 29.6 fps at 4K.
On January 15, 2014, oViCs announced the ViC-1 HEVC decoder which supports the Main 10 profile at up to 4K at 120 fps.
As of right now the jury is still out as to the quality of these
compression technologies but their def making some gains.
If history is any indicator then we might see a real change in
the next Decade once the above mentioned companies all
adopt a new standard in compression.

One of the reason panasonic closed their plasma business because of difficulty in building 4K Plasma telivisions.
F8500 is not a 4K television, why you guys are discussing about this HEVC.
