Hey Guys

Until yesterday I was happily waiting for the new Panasonic Plasma series to launch and make a decision but a new twist has come into the picture.

My options are (Budget is still 1.1L Max)

46D7000 for around 95k
46D8000 for around 1.1L

Or wait for Panasonic Plasmas.

I did consider 51E550 (Samsung Plasma) but I dropped it because of 2 things. One, the screen is too(oooo) glossy. Reflects everything even in a normal bedroom environment with say 2 tube lights. And two, I read in this forum this morning that plasma's still show burn-ins (yes even the new series) so it cannot be used to play a game like FIFA where some visuals are there all the time, this is an issue has sometime me and my friends tend to have FIFA marathons for 8-10 hours straight.

So what do you guys think is best to do?

I will put the list like this

Sony Hx925 > Sam D8000 > Sam D7000 .
or
Sony Hx925 > Sam Es8000 > Sam Es7500 .
Have you checked new Samsung models ? As i think it would be better to choose from Es8000 or Es7000 though price might be bit high....but seriously take demo of new models including Es6800 as i think its best bang for money right now.Even Es6200 is better than D6000 which it replaced this year or on level playing field of D6600.

Sam D550 is good plasma for money and same goes for Pana plasma's too....8 hours of play with still visuals might cause serious burning .
LED is better for you and Samsung LED in particular as it's glossy screen might give better viewing while playing games.
Checked Es6220( Es 6200 model retailing in Thailand ) recently and it looked refined version of D6600 with some cosmetic changes .

By the way i thought you are done and dusted with your LED buying advice with a hanging TV on the wall.:rofl:

My option in the new models was ES6800 but it still too costly.
I did take a demo of ES6800, ES6200, D7000 and D8000 but I couldn't notice much or could justify the price of ES6800 and D8000.
D8000 and D7000 we almost identical in everything, with D8000's panel being 5% better. Not worth 15k IMO

I had to consider the discounted price I was getting with last year's models.
So I got D7000. If I even look at the market price a couple of weeks ago, I actually save 25k, while in D8000 I save 15k.

Oh and this is my second LED :P I gave D6600 to my brother.
 
Last years D6600 is now Es6200 as almost every built in functions of D6600 is now in Es6200 with some minor cosmetic changes.Same goes with D7000/D8000 and this years models...

Get any of D7000 / D8000 as series 6 seems parallel to what you already have ( D6600 ).
Try grey market dealers i bet you will find very good price !
