Samsung PN64D7000 VS. Panasonic TC-P65VT30

You really hit a nerve with me on this one! Let me start by saying I have an open case with the BBB against Panasonic as I write this. The VT 30 is Pana top model, where as the Sam 7000 is second to the 8000 model. I would go to the links provided by Tom6897. I have a defective 65 VT30 and this is my second one. The picture is excellent however I wouldn't buy another one. I am going to go for the new Samsung when it comes out, but I may not go for plasma and opt for LED, or OLED (if I can wait long enough). You can send me a PM if you want more info on the Pana problems. BTW, from what I understand available inventory is getting low since the new models are scheduled to be out next month.

I can second the AVS forum for the skinny on the two tvs. D-Nice has some excellent info on set up and performing a good burn in of a new plasma. Item 4)I can comment: Off axis viewing with plasma tvs is not a real issue. LCD tvs are the ones with off axis issues. Those are both excellent sets you are shopping for and I am sure you will be blown away by the video performance of either set.

Thanks for your comments and pointing me toward the other forum. This was very helpful.
