Hey, what's the status of the King. Any plans of going for another TV.
Did you get your claim and refund from insurance.
If you still planning to go for a 64" it may be a good time to get your hands on a 8500 while stocks till last. Post that i do not have any hopes for any flagship models coming out.

I am extremely satisfied by the picture and features of this model. The smart remote is the only thorn in an otherwise rose bouquet. Maybe it's my hate towards it that I've dropped it at least thrice. As with all Samsung things that are plastic the remote reveals all it's innards even on the slightest fall.
Absolutely gorgeous pictures. Hoping that this set survives until UHD & OLED becomes affordable.

It was at Huns at the end of MG Road- not sure if they still have it. be careful as they had a Demo piece for several months, o the wall. BTW one of my friends is keen on getting this so perhaps if you two buy together it may work out.
Thanks. I got back not only the TV cost, but also the transport charges and even the customs duty paid.
But they left the dead king at my place forever.
I wanted to place the order again for a brand new Zt60 but it now costs 6k dollars.
Trying for a used model which is now at 3400$.
Yes. I am now feeling that f8500 is seriously a better option.
Aaha... here is our winner of the world... living in eternal blissful and peaceful life with his w950.
first of all, apologies to all if i sound straightforward. and for posting a off-topic things.
Frequent users of this forum knows him well & his one sided comments. also i've seen many have opposed his comments in many threads. But, he's still standing on his rock solid state mind like he only has best tv in the world, LEDs are best, plasmas are worst, etc, etc. solute u man, i wished u could use them in a positive way.
The one story his comments reminds me of is.... "The Frog in the Well" story... and the moral of the story says... the frog in the well who only knew his world and couldnt allow his mind to wrap around the idea of a bigger world outside his own experiences... so, get a life out of the box.
My intention is not compare with frog, instead understand the meaning.
The message to all is....
@ frequent users: complete ignorance needed (like he's 'invisible', we cant see his comments).
@ new comers : Don't be confused seeing this guys any negative comments, nagging, etc... just move on with your search.
@ Mods : only one question. What are you waiting for? (this kind of vague comments affecting this forum's reputation, FMs feelings) and i dont mind if i get banned for this post.
and finally,
@ invisible
If you are getting angry over me reading this post
, you are welcome to say anything in favour of you. let this will be judged by others based on 'what' is right instead, 'who' is right. Sigh!
@ invisible................totally IGNORE!!!
+1 to prgk13
invisible makes it a point to always expose his ignorance and lack of knowledge and he keeps doing it repeatedly. People are smarter than to listen to his juvenile comments.

Spoke to the Shopowner- he had one piece which sold long long ago- claims he gets odd pieces now and then ( any brand)which he sells at crazy discounts......
Where did you get this deal. Lowest I am getting is 1.86 at infibeam
I just checked out this TV in display today.
The TV was placed on the ground (!!), so that the top end of the TV will reach only your chest position.
From this position the PQ of the set was horrible. Not even close to some of the pictures posted here or the D8000 plasma I have seen in the recent past.
The louver filter seem to be heavily over-done to the level that when you look 'down' at the TV, the effect is like watching a mobile phone with privacy filter screen guard applied. It looked so bad that the nearby 5 series F5500 looked better.
On complaining, the sales person said it is due to the position it is displayed and everything will be ok if the position is raised to normal viewing position.
When they lifted the TV temporarily to normal viewing height, the TV transformed from dull with black shade to bright and impressive but still nowhere near to the brightness of the F9 series LED displayed by the side.
Owners, can you please explain how the filter behaves at home? it seems to virtually block all light coming from the top of the TV. Is it the same treatment to the light coming from floor reflections? If that is the case, you can never view this TV lying down in the floor.
That would be a real deal breaker for someone like me.
Please confirm how the TV behaves when viewed from
1) Close - left and right.
2) Bottom lying down from floor.
3) Standing upright position.
Thanks in advance.

It would be right to say the BEST tv's for 2013-2014 in order of pref would be :
Panasonic ZT60
Panasonic VT60
Samsung F8500
In bright ambient conditions the F8500 beats the VT60. So the F8500 is the best tv from Samsung and one of the best plasma's in the market. Just because it is the brightest plasma, it still is not LED. Hence it is unfair to compare the brightness with likes of F9000 or F8000. But it can be as bright as some LEDs, not all LEDs.
The link below explains what you may have observed.
Samsung F8500 (plasma) review - FlatpanelsHD
"However, Samsung F8500 has very limited vertical viewing angles; not only from the top but also from the bottom. This is the case because Samsung has implemented an anti-reflective filter that screens light coming from the ceiling; and now also the floor. It reduces reflections and it helps to maintain color intensity in brightly lit viewing environments but it also means that you have to sit pretty much at level with the TV. If you stand up, the picture will become darker and if you lie down on the floor the top of the picture will again - appear darker. It is not a big issue but it rules out some use cases such as children sitting on the floor close to the TV."
This is exactly what I saw today.

The review does not show the problem in correct intensity. Only Samsung could think of this as a solution rather than a problem.
Panasonic plasmas are mostly irrelevant because they are not available in India.
My VT20 is going strong btw.

I also love my 50V20 which is almost as good as the VT25, but I have got to tell you the F8500 beats my V20!!! Just picked up one a week back for a friend and the picture quality is jaw dropping!!!
