I'm starting to worry decent quality 4K OLED won't be ready by the time my plasma pegs it.
My F8500 Samsung plasma has 10bit colour.
Havent noticed and flickering or afterglow. But if I put my ear right near it I do indeed hear a faint buzzing.
And 4k is actually broadcast across all channels lol
There's that as well haha. Major bandwidth issues as it is converting to 1080i!

what a load of tosh
a plasma if you watch your tv for 10 hours a day - but most don't as they have jobs. will cost you at best an additional £30 a year to run over an LCD.
also plasmas were significantly cheaper to buy over their LCD counterparts that offer similar quality and still are.
to get an LCD which matches my £799 plasma costs £6,000.
you would have to be an idiot to worry about £30 a year when blowing £6K on a tv with the same quality as my £799 plasma.
also resolution isn't enough to justify buying LCD. I'd rather have a 1080p plasma than a 4k LCD as they currently stand.
it isn't behind though.
plasma is ahead of LCD in terms of motion, colours, contrast, black levels, etc and most likely will be for a long time.
it's been a few years now since R&D stopped in the plasma world. yet the only lcd that can stand on the same level of them is £6K.
as time passes you may be able to get a LCD the same quality as a plasma for £2K but it will likely be 7+ years before they make something for £1K that is better than my £799 plasma.
FYI I have a 50" GT50B

show me an LCD which has left that tv behind that has been reviewed by either avforums or hdtvtest
Today is the longest day. You do know it's still sunny for some people from 5pm - 9:30pm… Even on a really great hot summers day it's still blasting rooms after 10pm. Even though it can be a very slow sunset. I've seen it after 11pm and peoples rooms can be a heavily orange but still too bright for a TV.

Is yours edge lit? Edge lit that creates dirty screen effect is the worst. As it shows up on foggy/cloudy dark grey scenes and fast panning.
This. Happy enough with my Samsung 46" F8000, until I get my hands on an OLED.
HDTV Test seem to agree too.

Yes. Panny PZ85 before it.
The latest last top end Plasma may egde my LCD, but I reckon a worthwhile difference will be when I switch to OLED for it's awesome black level and contrast.
And as a package for now, I'm very happy with the F8000. As are reviewers.

MOOGLEYS owned a ZT. Question is how pernickety he/they is.
Some people haven't seen dirty screen effect, DFC on Plasma and other flaws until pointed out. Then they can't stop seeing it. It's why a lot say don't go looking for the flaws.
