waiting for the Vizio P Series later this year 
Anyone copping a new TV for the big game?

LED TVs are trash. The only reason i mess with LED TVs is cause i play video games. Plasma TVs have far superior picture quality to LED TVs. The technology of LEDs is just inferior. they have tons of screen uniformity issues. the only real knock on Plasmas is you need to be in a controlled environment (dark room) for them to look their best and if you abuse them you can get minor image retention.

I can't lie, I might just wait and cop a 4K Samsung TV during Black Friday. I know that there isn't any content right now but hopefully it will be some by the time I get the TV. Saw a Samsung model 4k and I was literally stuck watching the details. It looked better than the Sony 4K TV. But it's whatever.
Black Friday isn't a good time to buy a high end TV. in fact the best time to buy is right now through the spring. the new models just got announced at CES and they're slashing prices on the older models to make way for the new ones. you can get a flagship TV from Sony for almost half of what it used to retail for.
that's a 1080p set but its damn near half off. i wouldn't recommend buying a 4K set because the codecs are still being worked out and its still very early in the tech's run. getting stuck with an early model TV that was over priced and underperforms compared to the latter models would suck.
I may have a change of heart and get a LED instead of a plasma. I guess that plasma's do not have the "soap opera effect" and that one of the main features that i'm looking for in a new tube. Plus I did do a comparison between the two and the plasma TV did look better but it was not by a lot. Some of the LEDs that I seen look very comparable and you really could not tell the difference. Do anyone has a opinion on LG or Sharp TVs in general? I seen some better deals for their TVs than I did for Samsung while browsing for the past couple of weeks.

This the tv I'm copping
I already have the 51" but I want that 64"
Sears has the 64" for $1850 and the 60" for $1600.I almost pulled the trigger on the 60" but I'm gonna wait until the 64" drops to around $1500-$1600

you need a controlled environment to compare. like look at this video in a dark room
happens about 56 seconds into the video they put an LED and a Plasma right next to each other in a dark room. the Plasma gets so dark it blends into the darkness. the LED due to its deficiencies in technology has clouding and flashlighting that's easy to see on an all black screen and you can tell the TV isn't producing true black.
here's a shot. i circled the Plasma.
What constitutes abuse for a plasma?
I'm trying to cop my tube on Tuesday or Wednesday. I may ask for one more compare before I buy. I want to option for the "soap opera look" and I don't know if I can get that in a plasma.
Leaving it on for several hours with a stationary image on the screen.
