Details:Samsung 60-inch Plasma 1080p HDTV for $1500
Samsung 60-inch Plasma 1080p HDTV for $1500. This is Samsung's latest and last Plasma TV. This 8500-series Plasma was released in 2013, and will likely be the last Plasma sold by Samsung. This is a discontinued model, and once BestBuy's inventory sells out, it could be difficult to find them again.

This Samsung PN60F8500 has very positive reviews, weighs 90 pounds, includes 4 pairs of 3D active glasses, and uses a Plasma display instead of an LCD. Manufacturers are phasing out their plasma screens because they are expensive to build, while LED-LCD TVs are becomming much cheaper. The future of TV is OLED, however it will be at least a few more years before they become affordable.

Advantages of Plasma over LED-LCD:
  • Pure-black levels. Unlike LED/LCD which must maintain a constant bulb of light passing through the screen, Plasma can actually turn off individual pixels, producing true blacks. Some newer LED-LCD TVs can produce black levels similar to Plasma, but until OLED becomes mainstream, there is no way to get black levels as good as a Plasma today.
  • 600Hz refresh rate, which is great for watching sports and anything in motion. LED-LCD screens have 60 to 240 Hz.
  • Better viewing angle than LED-LCD.
Disadvantages of Plasma:
  • Plasma consumes more electricity than LED-LCD. Our guess is about 3 times as much electricity as a similarly-sized LED-LCD, but your actual power consumption may vary.
  • Plasma can generate a lot of heat, and usually have a built-in fan to regulate the temperature.
  • Plasma has a glass screen, and can be more prone to glare than a LED-LCD. Do not face your plasma toward a light source or window, because the plasma's glass screen can act as a mirror. It will reflect light in the same way as a touch-screen device like an iPad, iPhone, or Motorola Droid. If you place your iPad or phone where you want your TV to be, and if you can see a glare, then your Plasma would produce the same glare.
  • Many plasmas, especially 2012 and earlier models, produce a slight "buzzing" sound when on. The reviews of the Samsung say there is a slight buzz in this 2013 model, but it will be drown out by TV's sound at normal levels.
If you are looking for a great TV today for your living room or home theater, we recommend this TV.

They are also selling a 51-inch model for $1000.
