Hello Gentleman,

I've been in the market for a new TV for a while now and have my eyes set on the Samsung PN64F8500. Currently I have a Sony Bravia 55" LED/LCD that for the most part has served me well over the years. But now its time to upgrade and throw the Sony in the bedroom. I ultimately decided to go Plasma because of what I've read about picture quality. Not to mention the fact that this particular model has a display that is able to reach brightness levels nearly equal of current LED/LCD's. That is what sold me. My only concern is what I've read about input lag. Cnet rated the input lag at 53ms when you set the TV to PC mode. Many other users have complained that the picture suffers substantially when this is done. You're more or less kind of fixing one problem and creating another. That is just not acceptable to me, especially when you consider how much this TV costs.

I would like to hear from others that have faced a similar dilemma, and what you ultimately decided. Id also like to hear from people that have owned this particular model and what you think of it. Is the input lag bearable? Is the TV still worth spending nearly 3k on a year after release, or should I look elsewhere? Any suggestions on other models that have a picture quality close or equal to plasmas? All input is appreciated.

Thanks guys,

-Cory
