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.
Samsung PN64D7000 VS. Panasonic TC-P65VT30
Ok, we are at the home-stretch and it's come down to the 64" Samsung Plasma or the 65" Panasonic Plasma.
I'm really torn on which one, so I am open to feedback on the following:
1) Picture Quality
2) Reliability/Service History of Problems?
3) Sound Quality from the TV's Built-In Speakers (for regular TV viewing, not surround)
4) Off-Axis Viewing
5) Performance in Well Lit Rooms
6) User-Friendliness when Streaming (Netflix, etc.) from the Internet.
I have a hunch that this may just come down to personal preference. However, if you have any experience with either or both of these models that would offer a strong pro or con, please share your thoughts.
Thank you.
