I got this TV a few weeks ago.
Panasonic TC-P65VT50. Best Buy had an awesome deal on them, about 25% off, and even though I've been a Sony fanboy the last few years, I had to pick up this one. I was gonna let y'all know about it when the deal was still going on at Best Buy, but I wanted to see some stuff filmed in 3D on it first.
Watching movies on this is awesome. The colors, even without a professional calibration, are great. It's THX certified, so the colors, details, and overall picture, are excellent. The best "preset" mode IMO is "THX Bright Room".
It's supposed to be one of the best for 3D. I've watched a 3D Blu-Ray on it, and it's pretty darn good. I'll probably get a subscription to a 3D Blu-Ray rental place to check out a few more.
The LCD vs. plasma debate is a contentious topic, so I won't try to prove my case on why I think one is better than the other. Overall I'm really happy with this TV, and the Best Buy 4 year warranty that I got gives a little peace of mind that if I do get "burn-in" (a common thing with plasma TVs) or something else, it will be easily fixed or replaced.
This picture really doesn't do it justice, for various reasons, but here's an idea of how it looks. I sit about 8 or 9 feet away from it, so it's kinda like sitting in the front row at a movie theater.
My surround sound setup consists of a pair of
Sony MDR-DS6000 headphones.
Great sound from them, but they do have some imperfections, so I probably wouldn't recommend them. The new
MDR-DS6500 that replaced them are much better, and the Japanese version of the 6000, the
MDR-RF7100 look cool, but there aren't many reviews for them.
