Nick, have you seen a difference in quality and brightness between the two?

Are you talking about differences in brightness between the left & right one?

Good question. Neither. But I would say closer to bright. Def not dull. Hope this helps. Very durable and good size!

I cannot compare as I do not own both. But I do have the View Sonic and the LG, and both displays have excellent color accuracy when delivered and used on the DVI port using native resolution. The big rub is that the as delivered brightness is so high as to cause significant eye strain if used more than 1 1/2 hours. If you reduce the brightness, you will not get the advertised Dynamic Contrast Ratio. In addition the as delivered brightness causes a non acceptable light bleed around 1 or more edges. All of the above are to be expected on these LED backlit, IPS, WQHD displays, and getting one acceptable to you is a matter of luck and original engineering design tradeoffs. These displays are at least 2 or 3 times better than the old 1920 x 1080 displays. Good Luck.

@ R. Barg. I directly compared the ZT with the F8500. The F8500's extra brightness was readily apparent in the high ambient light room I saw both sets set up in but I doubt you'd miss any brightness if you had the ZT or VT without a side by side direct comparison with the 8500. My ZT is plenty bright for my needs and during the day I have a bright living room in which its set up. In the very bright environment of the dealer's shop the ZT and VT Panasonics did look a little dimmer than the F8500 when they were all set to equal picture modes but the difference wasn't striking. The F8500 can be calibrated to be a lot brighter though if that's what someone is looking for. For me it was the ZT all the way. The VT60 and F8500 both looked really great no doubt about that and really they're all at the top performance wise but I wanted "the best" (to what I can afford) and from everything I've read, everything I saw when I saw them all in the same room and what I have experienced so far since purchasing the ZT, I made the right choice based on my preferences and how I watch TV. This TV displays gorgeous images, the better the source, the greater the picture quality. As for whites, they look truly white to my eyes on my ZT in all lighting environments, day/night. In the shop the whites did look "whiter" on the F8500 and the LCDs in the room but outside the direct comparison of that showroom, my ZT's white look brilliant. Hope that helps.

I don't really see a difference. I like the unit but it's a bit dim in daylight. Other than that it works just fine.

I really have not seen a difference; never even thought about it. The view finder is awesome, but pricy. I paid more for the view finder than the camera, but no regrets. Bright sunny day, you need the view finder.

Thanks for your response. So... Is there any difference in picture quality?

Hard to say, I have nothing really to compare to. However I find the quality good especially outside when you have plenty of light.

Essentially yes, there are some differences though as far as internal quality. Other then these extremely slightly differences there is absolutely nothing different then the name.

Hello Phillip! I like them both they do the job, but I prefer this one I mean NCN because you can use it around the eyes.

LED is much brighter. I have owned both. Part of a self defense class recommended using a small LED flashlight to shine in the bad guys eyes because it will affect the bad guys vision. No I have not checked this out.

No, in fact I have been noticing the my brights are not that much brighter than low beam.

I have both and honestly I think they feel very similar. It is worth seeing because of the price difference!

I have both so I show how both compare in a video I uploaded, hope this helps eveyone:

I've found no difference in brightness between the rechargeable Panasonic batteries I use and 2 Duracell batteries. I don't know about other brands.

does contrast ratio make a lot of difference? I'm also debating btwn 4061 and 4065.

the lumens was the only diff i was able to see. so i went ahead and purchased the 725hd. it's great, you don't any more brightness than what the 725hd has. nice clear picture in day or night.
