McCordRm Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 I bought the 70". It arrives Wed. I can't freakin' wait. The showroom floor demo was freakin' sweet, though. Since I plan to have it professionally calibrated, I'm expecting great things come Superbowl time.

linsook Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 The availability of LG OLEDs and the samsungs are towards the end of the year. Did you consider waiting for any of them?

jerzdawg Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 well congrats. I think you cant go wrong with either TV. The prof. calibration is a no brainer. when you spend that kind of $ on a tv whats another $300-$400. I am currently in the market to replace my aging LCD... my #1 pick right now is the 55VT50. post back after Wednesday .. post some pictures!!

McCordRm Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Ok, so reporting in. The TV was a bust. When it arrived, it had a damaged screen with fingerprints all over it. Obviously, I got an open box product. The Tech that showed up also pointed out to me that with my room setup, a Plasma would work much better due to its better viewing angles compared to the Elite. So I've returned the Elite and have a Panasonic P65VT50 on the way. Should be getting installed tomorrow.
