Samsung vs Panasonic - Blu-ray Forum

LifeOfAPirate13 · 09-24-2009, 12:30 PM

Hey guys it's been awhile hope all is well with everyone. A co-worker of mine is interested in which TV is better Samsung PN58B860 vs Panasonic TC-P58V10. They are virtually the same price and I am pretty sure all of you are going to say Panasonic. I just wanted to get solid answers as to WHY it is though not just "panasonic because I said so." Thanks guys!

Samsung nothing in there price range can match the picture quality.

I have had a panasonic tv and home theater system for the longest time and have been very pleased with both. Panasonic tvs are great with picture quality and audio as well. If I was going to get anything besides these, maybe a Vizio.

Hard to say. I have had a Samsung plasma for three years and it has never failed me. The best answer here is to compare side by side in store and come to your own conclusions. They are both great. If I were going to buy another I would buy the new 58" 860 series from Samsung when the price comes down. Or "bite the bullet" and spend the cash on a Pioneer Elite. The new 850 and 860 Samsungs are awesome.

I wouldn't buy anything from Samsung. The customer service horror stories I've heard are quite plentiful. Panasonic on the other hand makes the best, most affordable, and reliable plasmas on the market.
