Amazing set. Best blacks Ive ever seen on a LCD.

What about that input lag tho
Never tested lag, but as far as contrast and even backlighting is concerned that F8000 sieres is no joke for an Edge lit LED. Super bright whites, deep blacks, and amazing ascetics. I was really close to buying one but instead went with the ZT60 because of the "reference TV" "better blacks than a Kuro" reviews.
IMO as far as edge lit LED's go nothing touches Samsung's flagship F8000
...and amazing ascetics...
What about that input lag tho
Lag is about 45ms. Which is not all that bad but if you are getting a LCD this year, there is just no way around the Sony TV's. They look good, are pretty accurate out of the box and have the lowest input lag ever recorded on a modern TV set.
That's across all Sony sets? I thought that was just one particular model?

im just a little salty about samsung led's.
I've got this one:
Sucks for gaming and the PQ isn't all that great IMO. Paid $3,000 ish for it too :l. Got it because our new place had a lot of light coming in and I thought a LED/LCD would be best.
how is the picture quality not great on that set?

So, I went out and bought me a Sony KDL55W905A today, to replace a Samsung UE46D8000...
Thinking about buying this over the weekend. Any noticeable uniformity issues?
Are the low input lag tests on the Sony TVs from Game Mode or do the TVs in general have low input lag? I have a SONY HX929 and there is definatley some lag, but it it basically gone in Game Mode. However, Game Mode doesn't look quite as good as some of the other modes.
Thanks, Deepo. Pulling the trigger.
Smokey, is that the D8000? If so, I feel your pain.
black out curtains were my first post plasma purchase...the light...it burns!!

Bought it based on this review from www.hdtvtest.co.uk. I have tried some fast paced games now, and boy, can I feel the difference in input lag from my old set. I can only echo what Lima has been saying, this is a brilliant TV for gaming. Really feel like I'm ready for next gen consoles! Also, it feels great to finally have a TV that tops the list of the TV Input Lag Test Database over at hdtvtest.co.uk
Looks great too, although it has some drawbacks, mainly not as bright on max backlight on the Samsung, and bad viewing angles. Every review I've read mentions the viewing angles being horrible, so I was basically positively surprised by them being perfectly acceptable to me, and absolutely no problem in my living room setup.
The set also includes a code to redeem for a Sony Xperia Z as well, which I'm pretty happy about. Will wait to redeem that until I'm certain I'm keeping the tv though.

I'm buying the same TV (55W905A) mainly for gaming in two weeks.
How does it fares when it comes to motion blur? As far as I could tell from reviews that was the only issue it had with gaming considering that motion blur is an issue most LCDs/LED TVs with fast moving images.
I'm coming from a Panny 65VT50 that died, and I'm frankly afraid of motion blur issues on LEDs...I never even owned a LED TV...
It's time to retire my Sony SXRD 55A3000.
Trying real hard to figure which plasma to go with.
Panasonic ST60
+great picture
+great value
-input lag
-IR a bigger issue on Panny from impressions
Panasonic VT60
+superb picture
+less lag issue
-price jump
-IR a bigger issue on Panny from impressions
Samsung 8500
+great picture (just over ST60, and under VT60)
+less lag issue
+really love the stand and remote actually
+IR less of an issue on Sammy from impressions
+better 3D i suppose
-price jump
I don't know. I think I just need to let a store let me hook up a game system to the ST60 and see how it feels so I can save $1500.
48" CRT? How much does that thing weigh?
Took 3 guys an hour to carry it up a single staircase. I really wish I could take it when I move, but it's probably too much effort. I'll probably splurge on a super nice set when I end up moving.48" CRT? How much does that thing weigh?

I have the same SXRD and still love it. Good picture and no lag, I'm dreading the day it dies. I know newer TVs probably look better but I love it for gaming. Thanks for your plasma summary; so I'm assuming you've ruled out LCD?

Regarding Samsung 8500
Cons
Minor buzz with brighter scenes
Mild floating blacks with Black Optimiser engaged
Sometimes images just look too clean and pristine
Input Lag is too high for gamers
HDMI inputs are too close to the edge
Base stand might be a sticking point in some set-ups and for those with no taste

I think whatever choice you will end up with of the 3 you have mentioned, you will be very happy.
I was kinda in the same spot, but i had the Sony w905a in the equation aswell. I ended up going with the VT60.
Hello everyone.
I just bought a samsung 40F6400.
I found the image to be a little too greenish for my tastes ( in sky hd) so i tried to use the white balance in order to fix it.
I don't have a colorimeter and i don't know how to properly calibrate (tried to read some guides but they are too long and complicated) so i used just the eyes and tweaked the RGB Gain and Offset a bit: after many tries i have just lowered green and slighty uppered the blue in RGB Gain and left RGB Offset controls untouched.
I'm quite happy with the result but now i'm worried that by turning those menu up and down so rapidly to see the effects on the colors, i may have somewhat damaged the tv.
Is it possible to damage a screen just by calibration of white balance?
thanks
