Make it simple and just pick the one that looks the best to you, because I guarantee that if you start researching you will find that each one of those TV's has some sort of problem someone can complain about.

4K seems like a lot of money to spend on a 60inch TV, at least in 2010.

I picked up a 50 inch LG plasma for $900 last November and it looks great, like I couldn't be happier.

I know you are not looking for a front projctot, but just to give you an economy of scale, you can get an awsome front projector for about 2K and have more then double the screen size.

With all due reapect, I think if you spend that much on a 60" TV, someone is getting rich, and it ain't you!

a buddy of mine just got a panasonic G25 50" for close to 1,000$ might want to look into that maybe?

Where does he live and what are his work hours?

60" and larger TV's up here are very expensive. you really have to wait for them to go on sale and even then it takes a little talking to get them down to reasonable pricing.

I'd get a projector AND a screen AND a 50" Panasonic plasma or something. That's just too much money for mature technology.

Like Jay said.. this ain't the states. up here in the Nation's Capital, things like TVs are considerably more expensive, for no reason, than in the US. Yes, $4K seems like a lot for a 60" not named Kuro Elite but most upper end 60" TVs here , even these days, are all in the ball park of 4K . It's sad, but that's life in my city.

If I'm lucky and get a really good deal, I might be able to swing a Panny VT25 65" for $4K including TAXES !! wouldn't that be something HEY !! but I'm not holding my breath.

Time will tell.. whatever I end up with and whenever I end up with it, I'll be sure to let you guys know, just in case your shopping in Ottawa for a tv

Again Jay you are so right. Every time I click on another review, I get the " it's the best I've ever seen" to " problems from the last gen are still not fixed, buyer beware ! " etc... and on and on..

You can find dirt on ANY device ever made if you look hard enough.

Your advice rings through, words to live by my friend.
Cheers

Since everything cost more in Canada, does that mean that the average pay is higher than in USA?

Not everything costs more, especially Axiom speakers. Generally, minimum wage levels are "considerably" higher across the board than in the US. From my experience, executive level pay in the US is higher, however, at the mid and lower level, pay levels in Canada are, in many cases, higher than their US counterpart.

Like everything else in a so-called "free market" system, prices are determined by market size and competition.
