Panasonic Plasma or Samsung Plasma, Opinions needed

[Robmx]

Hey everyone, just looking which direction to head in the next few days. Selling my Sony LCD and want to know which way to go. Thanks for your comments in advance.

Panasonic V10 is a good display with a 96HZ refresh rate. Samsung also has some good 96HZ displays but the blacks are not as deep as the V10.

Panny!

[sokrman14]

Panny as well from me, but I don't really care for anything Samsung

[brett_day]

hands down it would have to be panasonic! they make the best sets on the market now

Granted I've only had it a couple days, but my new Panasonic G-15 looks amazing. Not sure what your budget is, but I ended up with the G-15 (50'')for $1100. Very worthwhile price if you ask me. Even in my room with many windows it looks great, and at night...WOW.
Can't wait for my HDMI's to come so I can hook up my Blu-Ray.

I'm sure you know most people on this forum say Panny right away, so read around some different places. I did, and was pretty confident with my decision.

If I was in the market...the V10 would be my choice unless I could still find a pioneer plasma.

Isn't only the newest and best of the Pioneer plasmas that rival the Pansonic v10 and not just any "Pioneer plasma"?

I would think the model of the particular Pioneer plasma would matter when comparing to a v10.

all the last gen pioneers imo are better then the current gen panas.

Not too long ago I was seeing threads where people were trying to decide on a 2008 model? Pioneer like the 5020, vs a Panny v10, and people seemed to like the v10 better overall.

[SkillzthatKillz]

nah if you could still get a kuro i'd go for that, especially the elites

Nah, the 5020FD is better. All 9th gen Pioneers are better, but an 8th gen such as the 5010FD would be comparable to the V10. D-nice over on AVSforum gave the V10 a slight edge over the 5010Fd when he was questioned about the two. The V10 has slightly better blacks.

Keep in mind that at this level of performance the differences are not huge...noticeable...but not huge. 9th Pioneers have the best blacks in the business, but the V10 is respectively close. Those who choose the V10 will be just as happy. Its an excellent set.
