Is the Panasonic 55st50 not in the mix then?  Because that would be a good one for you to consider too.

I thought you had the 65VT50.

In daylight, or in a darkened room? For watching broadcast TV or for watching Blu-rays?

Can you close the other thread that you started please?

Pity that you put this thread in the "Home Cinema" section, you might get more responses if you had placed it in the "TVs and projectors" section?

Both the TVs that you mention are very, very good. The Panasonic 55ST50 that gel mentioned is very good also.

A good new review of the ST50, basically saying it produces an image that looks as good as the VT50 model here:

So well worth considering.  It can be had for about £1400 too.

 

I am not sure which one I would go for, best to demo and see which one you think looks best.  Blacks are best on the Panasonic plasmas.
