What surprised me was I ordered before midnight on Sat. and the TV sat in my living room in the evening of Monday! The delivery company called our home at noon on Monday and left a message while we were not at home. My husband saw a truck outside my house when he came home early. Lucky that we caught them as we didn't receive any advance notice but this time it worked out great! Why go to Best Buy and bother to PM?
This is a great price for this TV! I was originally looking at the TC-P60GT50 that Amazon has for $1699 with 2% credit to be used towards a future purchase.
The first dilemma is, do I go with the VT or the GT?
The second dilemma is, this will be my first Plasma purchase, and they aren't particularly known for their brightness levels. I am a gamer, and my wife and I like to watch our fair share of movies. The TV is going into a well-lit room. But we can always draw the shades, and the light isn't at our backs. Going from a 65" LCD CCFL backlight to the VT or GT Plasma, will we be disappointed?
The picture looked amazing to me in Best Buy on both units, but naturally a lot dimmer than the other LCD LED backlit TVs they had on display in the Magnolia room. My wife can't stand the soap opera effect that a lot of the new LCD/LED TVs are known to have. That was virtually non-existent on the Panny.
So, to sum up:
1.) Any gamers own Plasmas out there, and how are your experiences vs. LCD/LED sets?
2.) Would you go with the 55VT50 or pay essentially $66 more and get the 60GT50?
I know I could have put this on an AVS forum, but I wanted to ask here first. Besides, finding your specific issue on an AVS forum is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I will try to reward any positive feedback with reps! Thanks!
When I shopped around for my TV (wound up with the VT, so I'm a bit biased
I think this is the TV to buy unless you have another $600 for 10". If I did, I would DEF go for the 65"!
I dunno how best buy policy works.

I know sales tax is an issue with them....but if you wanted to buy at a B&M or needed their 24 month financing etc
Unfortunately, customer service ratings for most (all?) of the big name electronics manufacturers are horrendous, overall.

It won TV of the year by Sound and Vision. Also check it out on CNET. I have a 50 inch Panny Plasma from a couple of years earlier and as I said on the other site, I would be all over this if my Panny Plasma wasn't still operating perfectly. Plasma is the only way to go! IMHO.
