+1, its too much risk buying a Panasonic plasma with Burn-in chances and pathetic customer service.
Now, If Samsung just offers Burn-in protection under warranty then i will give them a serious look.
There is difference between Burn-in and IR, now days panel are prone to IR not burn, IR can be removed by playing full screen content for hours not stop with no static logo. Also IR is major problem in Panasonic, last year's samsung did really well IR protection and if its same this year Samsung owners won't have to worry about IR at all..
I know the difference between IR and Burn-in. Even 2012 Plasmas had Burn-in, even some members on this very forum suffered from Burn-in and that is the reason NO plasma company has offered Burn-in protection under warranty till 2012, lets see what happens in 2013.

Feedback on F8000 has been really encouraging on the international forums. Some kind of brightness pop is bugging them but not all owners have noticed them. Can't wait to demo the 64" beauty. Maybe it's the 64F8000 for me this year

finaly a kuro killer (While the Kuro stood out in 2007, Panasonic has been slowly catching up every year, and this year has finally surpassed the black levels of the 50-inch Pioneer Elite PRO-111FD plasma we've kept as a reference ever since) http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/panasonic-tc-p60vt60/4505-6482_7-35566958.html

I have been planning to buy the New P42S60 but no idea when this will be launched in India or not at all. Anyone knows about release of Panny 2013 models. I have been holding my P42UT50D buy just because of this.
Any views.

Just copied the above post from the "2013 Samsung plasma.." thread to this thread.
I think the Indian version of ST50 does not have the option of changing the refresh rate. I checked through various menu settings and none have an option to change the refresh rate except for 3D viewing. It may be done through service menu, but I am not sure ....
One would be fool to buy ST60 this one compared to f8500, F8500 performed better than ST60 and is in same price range during festive season. Plus Panasonic's customer support is pathetic, I'm waiting for refund on my GT50 since months now.. Don't follow western countries. We don't get same quality panels which are sold in America and We don't even get full range of plasma's by panasonic in India. So its better to buy Flagship model of Samsung at same price as of panasonic's basic model.
This year Samsung is aggressive with their lineup with most of the show rooms having the plasmas in display ( may not be all the series ).
It is not even sure when Panasonic will release the 2013 models. Looks like a laid-back approach to Indian customers.

first review of Panny ZT60 Panasonic TX-P60ZT65B (ZT60/ ZT) Review
They won't be launched in India. Last year VT50 wasn't even launched in India.. Till date Panasonic only sells VT30 in India..

Indeed ZT60 is an amazing tv and this review was expected but certain points what the reviewer noted has to be taken into consideration when anyone considers buying this television or the F8500 or even VT60 for that matter.And none of these 2013 plasma are true kuro killers imo.

Some said its already in stores in Mumbai?
as per the sammy guys the f8500 is available only in size 64" as of now but 185k is indeed a great price for a highend palsma this size
I don't understand why would Indian buyer even consider comparing or thinking about Kuro, elite and ZT60 when clearly they are not available in India. Last year VT50 wasn't launched in India and it will be probably same this year with 2013 Panasonic models. I think Indian buyer should be really practical and compare models available in India rather that what's available in America unless they plan on importing it
Even for sake of knowledge panels sold in India are different than American Panels, so quality won't be same here anyways.. It will go lower than that near Diwali I think it will be a good buy at 160k-170k for 64" and 90k or under for 51" that is if it will be launched here.. with loads free goodies in festive offer
I'm planning on buying it during that time too Get the Wharfedale EVO 4.2 3-Way Standmount Speakers at a Special Offer Price.
