"Best TV I've ever had- Plasma or LCD/LED" on by rajhoot
Pros: Beautiful coloration, perfect uniformity, BRIGHT, independent day and night control, deep black levels, customizable Judder/Blur Reduction, LED back-lighting without bright spots, reflective screen creates richer images (previous Aquos was matte),
Cons: Really needs calibration out of the box.
Summary: Out of the other three TVs I've owned, (The others being an Aquos and Kuros) I like this one the best. I use a Kuros in the bedroom, but actually prefer the bright color pop of the B8500, sometimes (especially during the day) the Kuros just looks dull. I'm also an avid gamer and this TV comes with a game mode (which really doesn't need to be tweaked too much) and really brings out the artistry in the games. Pair with blurays, widgets, amazing features, easy to use menus, this is one hell of a TV. As a videophile I highly recommend it. If you are picky about your set and don't know too much about how to set it right, just look for an ISF Calibrator in your area. This is an expensive TV and should be viewed at its highest potential to get the most of out it.
