How does it compare to the Panasonic 4K LED?

Harley Dude, We can't speak for other manufacturers, so we'll leave this to the community to compare. We think you'll be happy with a Samsung television and what we offer with the 4K panels and additional Smart TV options. --Mr. S

I own the Panasonic, so obviously I'm biased. Worth noting that the 54" V10 has just been crowned the King of HDTVs...Buy the Panny. If nothing else, their customer service is WORLDS better than Samsung.

I have the 47" and I love it. The stock speakers are very loud, and the visual quality is great. Being an LED, it looks really good even in a bright room, although if it's behind a window you'll still have to worry about glare. I was annoyed with how it makes shows and movies look with the Motion Blur, but you can easily turn that off; it does help make games look better though so I turn it back on for gaming.

I own the panasonic 54 inch vt25 but just from looking at the store's display models, the sony is a superior tv. It displays less cross-talk, deeper blacks, and there is (to me) by far more pop in the 3d. what bothered me most about the samsung led 3dtvs is how the image feels very "wet" or extremely glossy when viewing 3d content. I didnt get that effect when viewing the sony led. Thats my two cents. cnet reviewed the tv and compares it to the sammy and panny in a brief article here http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20009377-1.html?tag=hotTopicsBody.1

My new 50" S30 is not as bright as the 3 year old 42" (720p) Panasonic plasma it replaced. The picture quality, however, is much better than the old plasma. It took me a couple of weeks to get used to it, but now it doesn't bother me (installed in my basement, little natural light) And keep in mind no plasma will be as bright as a LCD HDTV.

First of all the light produced by the LED is pure white rather than the more yellowish tones associated with an incandescent bulb. Secondly the reflector that comes with the LED bulb assembly has gotten an upgrade over the original version, the light beam is more focused. Trust me this is a sweet upgrade. When my Dad and brother saw mine, they both upgraded they're flashlights. Well worth the money. Not to mention how it extends your battery life by 4 hours give or take.

Hey Richard. I'm a VT60 owner that considered and compared both. White level and overall brightness are significantly brighter on the F8500, black levels are somewhat lower on the VT60. White level on both is more than bright enough in dim and dark rooms; you won't go near max brightness on either TV in that scenario. F8500 might be a better option if you're doing lots of viewing in very bright rooms, but in a dark room setting you may prefer the measurably better blacks of the VT60. Both are fantastic TVs and I doubt you'd regret purchasing either.

I have the LNT5265F and I love it love it love it! A friend has a Pana Plasma. I don't think Plasma has come far enough yet. Plasma has the potential to be better than LCD, but not yet. Go with the Samsung. I have 3 Samsungs 52", and 2 40" and they are all great.

I personally like the 50" Panasonic plasm. I have mostly looked at the 50PZ700u. I person I work with, who is a stickler for this kind of stuff, bought this TV and really has enjoyed it. According to him you really cant beat it without going up in price by a few thousand dollars. Just as a side note, best I can tell these couple of models use the same panel and just have a few minor differences. 50PZ700U - My preferred right now 50PZ750U - Same with some more plugs and color settings. Costs more as well. 50PZ77U - Not totally sure what the difference is, but it seems very similar.

I saw this model in Circuit City. The color balance looked a lot better than the equivalent 1080p 50" Samsung. We messed with the Samsung's R/G tint and the Panasonic still looked better. The Samsung baseball players all looked red (Oompa-Loompa-like) or otherwise strange. I think the only issue about the Panasonic is, it isn't very bright in the face of external glare.

I bought the 50" Samsung Plasma 3d and have never been happier. Don't believe the hype with LED tech... I do not think it is worth it. The 720p plasma looks better than the 1080p LCD. Turns out most signals are 720p. Also the burn-in has been fixed so if you watch ESPN and the ticker at the bottom is ghosting when you change the channel it goes away soon. Ummm... I also know that with the LCD you have to pay a ton to get a refresh rate that is any good. I paid $900 at Sears for my 50" 3d with a refresh rate of 600 Hz with 2 pairs of glasses. Once again... pull the trigger on the plasma. I bought the 50" Samsung Plasma 3d and have never been happier. Don't believe the hype with LED tech... I do not think it is worth it.

I watched the cnet video review for the plasma 8000 and its said the 3D was better then the LED version, becuase there was NO ghosting effect.

The only thing you'll gain with the Plasma is better viewing angles - and much higher electric bills. This DLP gives noticeably better blacks than that Samsung plasma This DLP gives a noticeably bigger picture This DLP gives comparable color, sharpness and overall PQ as the Plasma This DLP is cheaper to buy and much cheaper to run. This DLP displays a brighter picture. - You already have a great TV, so stop stressing. The absolute only logical reasons to get the plasma is if you intend to throw huge Wii gaming parties or if you're running a bar requiring the viewing angle advantage. Or if you need to wall mount. Otherwise stick with and enjoy this DLP. The only plasmas worth consideration over this 67a750 is the Pioneer 6020/elite and 'possibly' the Panasonic 58" 800/850u. Other plasmas aren't worth comparing to this DLP.

Actually online aficionado......The new Samsung LED's are WORSE. It is mentioned in cnets reviews and some have left comments here on amazon. One guy mentioned how he can see streaks running through his new LED tv in a dark room. So yeah... LCD's only look good when the lights are on.My friend has a panasonic plasma that he games on a lot. NO BURN IT. There is temporary image retention but that goes away fast.

The E8000 for sure. Though it depends on how much light you get in the room from natural sunlight. The E8000 achieves much deeper blacks, the color tones much more truer, and motion infinitely times better than the 7100. I currently own the E8000 and I'm truely satisfied with my purchase. If you want the best picture quality go with the 8000. If you want a super bright picture with colors soo vivid they look fake go with the 7100

It does better than comparable lumen models I have owned. The lighting location matters, I.e. if you turn on a lamp on the opposite wall you'll see very little change... but if you turn the overhead lights on near the screen it is considerably washed out. With my mini blinds closed in the middle of the day the picture is still very good. Short throw does matter I believe. Not sure if I'm saying this correctly but I believe the closer the source the less effect light pollution has on it. If your looking for a projector to use with over head halogen lighting you'll need a significantly higher lumen version. It does better than comparable lumen models I have owned.

I believe the LED technology is better and more reliable for long term use. As Plasma had its issues when it first came on the market with leaving the nbc or whatever channel you watched the most logo I just dont trust the technology. LED 240 has an awesome picture!!! I have the 55" but I have not watched a 3D movie the 2D is so awesome. Hope this helps!
