Quote: Kosh "Or not. Samsung have excellent upscaling circuitry and my 1080p panel produces a superb image regardless of input resolution. Even the SD signal looks fantastic. This was one of the primary reasons I bought the set.
There is literally nothing to choose between the Panasonics and the latest Samsungs. In fact a lot of reviewers are now saying that the Samsung models this year just edge it - they've made a significant step up.
Still best to go look at the screens side-by-side, though.'"
having seen the samsung and panasonic sets in standard def, high def, the Panasonics are still the best on the market value for money. As someone said stay clear of LG as they are very much a budget brand.
