Panasonic Viera TC-P60U50 60 inch 1080p 600hz Plasma HDTV $799.00 + FS

I bought this same model a little over a week ago from Fry's for the same price. So far I have been very impressed. Glare is an issue so I plan to add some curtains to my window. Black levels are fantastic! A big improvement from my 6 year old Sony LCD projection!

I've owned a Panny 54" plasma for 3-4 years with zero burn-in. Not sure where you are getting your tech, but any modern plasma has built-in, automated tools to prevent this.

For those who have had glare, when is it actually most noticeable?

you have plenty to learn..and welcome to 2013

for people with small kids wondering about plasma, lcd or led, remember that the heavy glass screen is great in case a toy gets thrown, or a stray crayon is found...

(dont worry, it cleaned up in about 10 seconds - not sure how well that would work with a matte screen)

^ Haha that's great...

To buy or not to buy...

It's such a good price, BUT I'm worried about glare. Why can't this be the ST50

Quote from tonie : If you want 3d at this price then i think you're too cheap to even buy the DVDs and glasses for it.

Thanks for your judgement call...and wasting my 25 seconds...

you are an uninformed idiot

i have 3 for 6 years and never a sign......next you will be talking about "refilling the plasma fluid" as it leaks out slowly

And if you dont understand 600 hz then you again proved your ignorance

you really are a Guju

I bought a 42" Viera back in 2009 for $850, if that helps with price gauging at all.

I have this model and I have also had a Plasma TV for over 5 years. The only burn-in I ever got was when leaving it on the same screen for an extended period of time. And even so, it is only temporary and goes away when you resume normal video playback. And nowadays damn near everything, including this TV, have implemented features to prevent that temporary burn-in while idle.

That aside, this is a great TV. Yes it has a glossy screen that can produce glare, but can be easily remedied by turning off any unnecessary lighting that could reflect on the screen.

hmm... then i stand corrected.

for anyone else that has not been updated with the info.

600 Hz is standard on all plasmas

60/120/240 Hz are all LCD specs

Still not sure about the plasma burn in debate. I've always been warned not to get plasma because of the burn in. Though it seems the newer tv's don't have this issue?

ordered ! thanks !

Congrats on admitting a mistake, burn in is far far less of an issue with modern sets. Long term static images (a computer monitor task bar would be a prime example) may have burn in over a very long time. Perhaps a HUD for a video game if that was the only game you played for 120 hours continuously....
