I watched Gravity on it first and it was stunning, especially the destruction scenes. There was a lot of detail shown in the dark scenes so the black level seemed pretty good. I did see the occasional rainbow flash but this movie is absolutely worst case, with very black scenes with bright white objects in the foreground. I think I am just really susceptible to them as my wife and son didn't notice them. It wasn't bad overall though. I didn't see any in the other movie we watched (the newer Independence Day). I haven't tried any 4K content yet but I was really blown away by the picture at 1080P so i am plenty happy as is. My son was distracted somewhat by the fan noise of the projector but I didn't notice it once the movie started. If I could ceiling mount the pj, it wouldn't be a problem. But sitting only a couple feet away, you could hear it. Here's a picture of the set up. The scene is from the mini movie in the Extras on the Gravity disc. My 50" plasma is sitting in the corner so you can see the size difference. The regular movie was 2.35:1 so it didn't fill the screen quite as much as the mini movie did. It came out to about a 90" picture. (Dog provided for scale) |

Really though, throw that thing up on your local facebook buy/sell/trade page and see if you can get what you’d need out of it.
Wife sold this little 19” we’d had for years and hadn’t used in several that my wife got waaaaay more than I’d ever pay for out of it. If it doesn’t bring it, whatever, keep the thing, but if you’re wanting to upgrade see if you can offset some of the cost on someone else’s dime. |

Costco has the 80” Vizio for a few hundred less than anywhere else. I looked at it side by side to the Samsung and it was much better. Settings might have not been optimized on the Samsung, but there was a clear difference.

I bought the Samsung NU8000 55 inch to replace one of the TVs in my sons' gaming room. Edge lit LED is what it is but the 240 hz refresh rate and dedicated gaming mode made it the most appealing option to me. Got it for $719.

I have a Vizio with a similar gaming feature. It does make a HUGE difference.

At least they only charged you $720. I do recall that the gamer mode turned some features off or reduced their settings and dramatically improved perceived lag. At what you paid it's a great set but they lied to you when they said it was a 240Hz panel. It was not worth the money they were asking when I looked. I own a Panny TH-65VX300 that even with it's low 60 Hz spec does better than most 240 rated lcd panels. * Quote:
