Robert,
I cannot wait to read the findings of this year's Shootout. You really are doing a fantastic service for all HT enthusiasts. I highly recommend having a 2013 HDTV Southwest Florida Shootout.
Best,
J
mech, nothing would make me happier than to have you moderate our live HD video chat room, but you'll have to be at the Shootout to do so.

Can you attend?

No. I did this silly thing called head coaching hockey this year and it burned up too much leave. And I work on Saturdays. :sad: One of these years I should be able to get to it Robert. But I don't see it happening in the near future.
Robert has Dewayne (D-Nice) confirmed he is going to be there? :)
I am very curious to see the F8500vsVT60vsZT60 results...

I would have LOVED to go but Robert, as you know, I will be getting off a cruise ship in Los Angeles on the day of the Shootout.

Very discouraging. Personally, don't tell my wife, I would rather be in Scarsdale, New York at 6pm on the 10th of May.

I will anxiously be waiting to see all the numbers.
Hello,
It might be time to go North to the big city. I recently purchased a Lexus LX470 that gets 13 to the gallon so I think driving is out of the equation, but there are tons of flights from both Sarasota, Fort Myers, and Tampa nonstop to LaGuardia.
Best,
Jack
Jack, ^^ that would be great! We'll gladly arrange to have you picked up and bring you back to the airport.

Congrat's on the beautiful new Lexus!

Hope to meet you are the Shootout and have you help us choose the new "King of HDTV"

Now that's cool. The Electronic Touch Pen on the new Panasonics seem like a neat feature - you can do your own telestrating during hockey or other sports. We all know better than the announcers, right? At least we can have fun with it.

Looking forward to the flat panel shootout this year. The VT 50 was spectacular last year, while I think Samsung took a little step back compared to the year before. It will be interesting to see how the new Panny VT60 and Samsung F8500 compare to the VT50. Reports out of CES were stellar. The shootout this year is also important I think to get an idea of the state of the art and the future for LCD development, particularly since Sharp doesn't seem to be going forward with the Elite line (no new model in 2 years?).

Robert and his family are incredibly wonderful hosts for this event, and in addition to being such an important event (because no one else does anything like it), it is so much fun to be able to talk about the technology and current state of the display world with other enthusiasts and some of the top professionals in the business as well.

Hi NYPete, thanks for the very nice post and your kind words. A/V has been a lifetime passion and I enjoy sharing the knowledge with interested folks.

I love the Shootout and each year it's fun for me to assemble the very best flat panels and butt them up agents each-other so we can carefully and accurately evaluate them.

I have some very special plans to make this the best Shootout event we have ever accomplished. Have you signed-up to attend this year?

-Robert
Hi Robert,

I just sent you an email to sign up for the shooutout. The surprises are great - like when you unveiled your personal Pioneer Kuro hiding behind the painting to unofficially compare to the Elite and other top TVs. Very James Bond and very awesome.
Robert,

Is the ZT60 going to be in the shootout?

I can't announce the displays that are in the Shootout at this time, but I can tell you we are working closely with Panasonic in regard to the ZT60 participating at the evaluation event.

Will that create a burned in image If left like that for a long time?
Yes, ^^ so don't leave any static image on the screen for long periods of time. Especially a new PDP and one that is as bright as the yellow lettering I used.
