RE: Congrats! Get it while you can. Samsung is shutting down the production next month

Posted by cfraser on October 19, 2014 at 10:48:01:
But the 8500 is the best plasma Samsung ever made, by a fair bit, and one of the best ever. Their 5300...isn't.

There are no firesales on the 8500, I'm sure somebodies are stashing them away in their garages/basements, like some did with the last Pannies and Pios.

So...cheap plasma vs a really good LCD? If it was for movie watching at night, I'd probably choose the plasma. If it involved kids and games and daytime use too, the LCD. Don't buy just because it's "cheap" or end of model line IMO, it just may not suit you. BD movie watchers do tend to prefer them though.
