Black Sabbath Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 I can build my own an have it be a lot sturdier and nicer than ones I can buy for more. Also, I've got a lot more components and plan on having more, so I need to plan ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 The minute the VT60 hits $2100 or less, I think I'm going to snag it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Don't tempt me any more The VT60 is $2300 recently and I don't know if the ZT60 is really worth an additional 500-700. I need a new TV Stand first, whether I build or buy one, but I really do want to get that plasma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 The 65VT60 has dropped to $1,999 at Best Buy, but it's impossible to order online. I'm going to the store this evening and really hope they can order one for me there, otherwise I'm going to have to order it through Amazon which I don't want to do really.

Black Sabbath Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Chatted with a nice Amazon rep named Tobias who gladly allowed me to price match Best Buy's price. I'll have the TV next Tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yeah I've been checking some out. Haven't put any in yet though, will probably do that next week. Can't wait to really delve into this set.Also, I always liked plasmas, just never looked to get one of my own. I'm sure glad I did. Though I do think LEDs can look great without being as bright as stores show them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a while to convert him to the plasma cult but now his eyes have been opened and he sees the light................... Unfortunately the TV manufacturers are killing our cult as Panasonic has discontinued their plasma line and I wonder how much longer Samsung will keep theirs going........... hopefully OLED screens live up to their hype and are a mature technology by the time I need a new TV because I am not a big fan of LED types.....................once you go with a decent quality Plasma it is tough to settle for anything less........... .

Powerage5 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Looks good BS I told you guys in the Blu Ray thread I had a question about my setup. I got a new TV a few weeks ago - it's a Sony X850B. I can't remember the exact model of my Blu Ray player, but I can check it if necessary - it's Sony and it's one of the ones that acts as the receiver for the 5.1 system also. Anyways, I'm having some problems with the A/V sync that I wasn't having on my old TV. The problem I'm having is that the sync when I'm on my cable box HDMI channel doesn't even remotely match when I'm on the channel for my Blu Ray player. Most of the time (I'll elaborate on that in a minute), the audio delay for the cable box looks good at 25 milliseconds. Blu Rays are quite a bit higher on the delay; this number is a bit more all over the place, but 250 milliseconds is the number that fits most often. I say most of the time, for a couple of reasons. I'm watching Netflix via the TV itself now, because I can stream 4K through the Netflix TV app. Sometimes on Netflix, I'm not able to get the audio to match at all - for example I'm currently on season 4 of How I Met Your Mother and while all 3 seasons so far looked great at 25 ms, season 4 needs negative delay; even at 0 ms, the video is still ahead of the audio. I had this problem on a couple movies also. When I'm on the Blu Ray channel, I say most of the time because sometimes I need to adjust the sync in the middle of a disc. Sometimes I'll start a disc at 50 ms, and by the end I'll be up to 250 ms. So, can anyone explain what's going on here? Why am I having this problem now while I didn't on my old TV? And why is the sync fluctuating on the Blu Ray channel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
