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.

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?

Thanks Pete! I enjoyed your email and you are in.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
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.Robert,
Is the ZT60 going to be in the shootout?
-Robert
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.
-Robert
-Robert
Since I've had a lot of folks asking if the ZT60 will be included in our 2013 Flat Panel Shootout, I will confirm that it will be included.
I can't announce all of the models that will be in the Shootout, but the 65" ZT60 will be a contestant.
I'll also have the VT60 in the Shootout, and it will be butt up to the ZT60 and Samsung F8500.
Let the games begin....

Okay HTS members I need your advice about an important decision pertaining to our Shootout evaluation event. Here's my dilemma...
I had planned on putting in Sony's HX950, but unfortunately Sony has discontinued that model. So our choices are the 4k UHD X900A or Sony's highest end 1080p full HD W802A.
The dilemma is that the Shootout has only flagship series, but if we put the X900A it will be the only 4k UHD panel in the event and that's kind of unfair to all of the other displays.
My tentative decision is to put the highest-end W802A 1080p on the Shootout wall to compete with all of the other 1080p displays, but to also have the 4k UHD X900A on an adjacent wall just to show it off and do a brief comparison with the same Shootout wall content, but not to include it in the Shootout evaluation.
I can't post on AVS Forum or HDJ, but I will post this on Blu-ray.com and HDF as I would love to have as many a/v enthusiasts' feedback as possible.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Value Electronics 9th annual Shootout event
lgroveman, as of this moment Sonys 4k UHD XBR-65X900A will be included. We have not made a final decision if the participants will be permitted to vote on any of the UDH models, but they will be there for reference.

Well with just 7 days to the Flat Panel evaluation we just received our two 65" ZT60s this afternoon. I actually met the plane from Tijuana Mexico on the JFK tarmac to load the precious cargo into our waiting company van.
Of course, I immediately started the break-in slides so we can have as many hours on these displays as possible before our panel of expert calibrators do their magic.

All of the Shootout panels will be calibrated by D-Nice, David Mackenzie, Ed Johnson and Kevin Miller. It's a group effort to be sure we get the best possible calibration possible.
D-Nice is the lead calibrator on the VT60 and ZT60. We're calibrating the ZT60 last so it gets as many hours on it as possible.

Bring your Amex.

Correct gents, I always recommend Amex or Gold VISA cards as you get an additional 1 year warranty.
With Samsung when you buy from an authorized dealer and register online at www.samsung.com you get an additional 3 months warranty so you end up with 2 years 3 months in-home warranty on all parts and labor at no charge!
