Which is better, Samsung or Panasonic?

Both are 50" 720p Plasma sets.

Panasonic

Samsung

Both are great companies, though you always hear Panasonic with Plasmas. But looking at these two, which one is better? In general, which is the better company for plasmas?

IMO

Plasma

Panasonic>Samsung

LCD

Samsung>Panasonic

when it comes to a major purchase such as this, i'd recommend you see if these particular models are avail. at a local store...even then i would purchase both to see which one performs better at home and return the other!

- personally i never had any good experiences with samsung hdtv's (lcd or plasma), but they do have very good user reviews...i was about to check out a 42" panasonic plasma, but this salesman show me a late model 50" pioneer plasma i couldn't refuse for the price...so far it's been great!

good luck
