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.

To sum up, there's very little between the top plasma's and the top LCD sets these days.

For plasma go Panasonic, for LCD go Sony or Samsung.

Richer Sounds are very competitive and their service is excellent.

Free Panasonic 5 year warranty on all new model panas at Nuway on holderness rd/willerby also!!

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.

Id always recomend panasonic as I bought a 42 inch plasma and the picture is excelent also have samsung lcd but that is a smaller screen would say bigger the screen go for plasma.

Dont know if anyone else thinks same as me but i seem to get a good picture at any angle on the plasma where as with the lcd seem to have to look at it square on for best result

Most lcd's have 178 degree viewing angles now but from 42 upwards plasma is still the better option. Some of the older LCD's used to be like rear projection tv's and like you say have to be fairly square onto it to get best viewing. The Panasonic win most of the awards and now have pioneer engineers working on the screens since pioneer pulled out of the flat panel market.
