Samsung UN55B7100 VS Panasonic TH-50PZ800U VS Panasonic TC-P50G10 (Fully Calibrated)

Our guy just left and he said if the screens were the same size and same cost he would walk out with the Samsung.

-The Samsung had better contrast.
-The Samsung had higher light output
-Subjectively sharper image although the test pattern showed about the same.
-Punchier picture on the Samsung
-Better blacks on the Samsung

( At first look these differences in contrast can only be found in the movie mode on the Samsung. On other modes on the Samsung, these differences could not be found)

Panasonic was calibrated in THX mode.
Samsung was calibrated in movie mode.

Panasonic Picture:



Samsung Picture: (Darker Blacks, more shadow details, more contrast in general)

He actually stated that "The black were almost Elite blacks. He stated they were as good as last years Elites blacks for sure"

I would like to make a notation at this time, we found out when I output component and HDMI at the same time out of the Panasonic 35K that the component will only be 480i. Therefor all shots must be separate compared to what I did in the owners thread of the UN55B7100 (Sorry I did not catch this sooner guys ).


Well it is what it is as far as the pictures. Calibrater will fill everyone in soon. As for right now, stop out any time. The Samsung will be here, the fully calibrated TH-50PZ800U is up for sale

Come on now man. TH-50PZ800U (Typo in title)...I sold the 58PZ800U, I am not going to have him calibrate that unit. I have a few TH-50PZ800U open boxed units here, now the one is worth more

Again, I have to note these are both great displays. I do not care what you buy, as long as you buy from a forum sponser
