Thanks! As you can probably tell from the review, I really wanted to keep it!

Feel free to send me PMs if you need to, but please don't post the same question on the forum and in the PM. I don't have the time to respond twice, so please post in the main forum only - it'll usually get a faster response. Thanks!

Hello mate,

If I was you I would seriously think about getting the D8000.

For me it handles motion better than the Pannys, no 50hz issue, better colours, great blacks, great for gaming, loads of calibration options, better online function, built in wifi and its a sexy looking beast.

I will post a pic of my night time viewing in a tick.  ;)

Cheers mate,
Just a shame a shame this set has bad DSE and light patches. But the dark scenes are spot on.
One thing I really like about the samsung is its cleaner image, the VT30 was very heavy handed with the dithering that went on.  :P

I use Tinypic.com to host the image, then use the BB code here for images which is [img*] then insert link to image here [/img*] (remove * from the end of img for it to work).
;)

EDIT: You can also click the tiny pic at under the letter B to insert the IMG bb code.
EDIT2: I'm getting an exchange. 3rd times the charm...I hope
