I have this one: http://shop.panasonic.com/support-only/TC-P50GT50.html Can anyone indicate what kind of change I would see if I bought this one http://www.vizio.com/en-ca/e50c1.html. I watch a mixture of movies, tv and sports in a semi lit environment.

I'm trying to decide if I should try a self repair at $200, dealer repair at $400+?, or buy this new TV for $750.
I haven't seen your model of Panasonic but I have the VT, and Panasonic is known for thier outstanding Plasma performance. Your model is no exception.

If it is $200 repair and some of your time I say fix it. The Vizio won't beat it IMO, you can delve into some of the calibrated specs online if you want tangible evidence, but you are comparing a few year old Mercedes to a new Hyundai Genesis. Ya the new one will have better and more updated software and look newer, but if driving/picture is what you prefer the Panasonic will be much better.
