Thread: Plasma TV: Samsung and Panaonic?

I am debating one which of the two following TV's to purchase.

Panasonic TH-50PZ85U 50"
or
Samsung PN50A550 50"

When I went to Best Buy and compared them, this is what I saw: The primary colors for the Samsung were amazing, but the Panasonic looked sharper and had more of a outlining detail quality.

Pictures on the Samsung that were purple appeared blackish or dark blue on the Panasonic. This shows that the Samsung has better basic colors, but the Panasonic was sharper because of the high quality black levels and outlines.

Does anyone have a suggestion or experience with which one is better? If so, why? Thank's all ahead of time for responses.

I have the samsund and love it as does my cousin who happens to have the panasonic. The only thing you MUST do is adjust the color of the TV then it looks normal again.
