    I went ahead and snagged a Panansonic 50ST60 from Panny direct about three weeks ago. Turns out I got one of the last few they had in stock. I'm serious guys... for the coin, this is an OUTSTANDING television. I've been absolutely floored with it from the get.

    Also couldn't help but notice that prices for remaining few have been actually creeping up on Amazon.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Sounds kinda dumb, but I found a good deal on a 60ZT60 so picked it up, now have my 60ST60 as a spare in the box. Hopefully that'll tide me over until something better comes out.

    Uh oh...seriously? Hope mine doesn't. That would suck. I have the Kuro Elite Pro 151

    Most issues I have heard of were with the 500M.

    I have both the zt and the st60 and the zt is a nice upgrade. It's not worth the original double asking price of the st, but if you can find a deal on one I'd jump on it

    Probably not a "deal" at $2,984.00, but I did order one. I hope it is worth it!

    I still have a Pioneer Elite Pro 520, had it for years and love it. It doesn't have HDMI, out dated but has been a great TV. I bought the 5 year extended warranty and just before it ran out I had some type of board go out. The guy that serviced it said it would have cost close to $3,000.00 to get replaced if I didn't have the warranty. It is still going strong, not sure what I will do with it now.

    I can't wait to get the new Panasonic.

    I had hoped to have a bit more feedback and make a better informed decision, but it is what it is. 6 month intrest free using Bill me Later, free wall mount and shipping also.

    Sorry to say it is not looking good.Sony and Panasonic have given up further development of OLED because they have deemed it to have too many technical wrinkles to iron out.
    Rejoice! http://www.soundandvision.com/content/panasonics-stealth-oled
