Would KS8000 be a good upgrade from a Panasonic Plasma?
Funny question. That's what I just did.
First though, I went from a 50" to a 65". So let's just say that alone was a nice improvement.
I feel like it's a little game of chance-ish.
I lucked out and had no bad experiences with shipping or the screen.
Nothing seems wrong with the set.
Smart TV is bananas (the best I had before was chromecast).
4K is bananas.
Brightness is....... different? Sometimes I'm stoked. Other times I feel like I need to put on sunglasses.
HDR.... I don't know that I'm that wow'ed by the feature. But some people love it.
Honestly... I don't think I'm going to sell the plasma. Might put it in a spare room.
But I'm not disappointed at all by my purchase.
The only thing I would hold out for is an OLED, but it will be a long wait for a $1K 65" OLED (the price I paid for my ks8000).
So yeah. I'm very happy.
