I was planning on getting a Panasonic TCP50S1 from DirectBuy, but then saw that they have Samsungs again, I was considering the PN50B530, but I can find absolutely nothing on it as far as reviews (nor can I find anything on the 550, whch I read on here is very very similar to the 530).

Just from what I have read, the Panasonic seems like the better of the two, but the Samsung is almost $500 cheaper. So, it the Panasonic wrth the extra price as far as picture quality features and all that? Or is the Samsung a better set based on its price?
