Samsung or Panasonic?

Question

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.

Answer 2

samsung, but I think tohsiba is ok too

Answer 3

they are both good.

Answer 4

The PN50A550 has a very reflective screen. The Panasonic TH-50PZ85U has a anti-reflective filter that is quite good at reducing glare and reflections. Also, I have had problems with burn-in on the Samsungs but not the Pany's. I'd recommend a Pany any day over the Samsung plasma.
