Need Help Fast. Will be buying today between Panny 42ST30 vs Sammy PN43D490 3D 720p

Ok, I bought a LG 42PT30 about six days ago and i am returning that set. I am not happy with the picture quality. The picture flashes almost like floating blacks and the black level was bad. I got all the eco modes, dynamic contrast, etc. off.


Anyway, i had the Panny 42ST30 and i wasn't too happy with the colors. But i am willing to give it another chance. I need your opinion fast about the Panny and Sammy. I sit about 9'ft away and watch daytime with blinds open, from my patio door. I only watch Directv HD. I got a quick question about the Panny.


1. When i had the Panny, i noticed when i would stand up, the picture would get darker, when looking down at it from the new antiglare filter.

Do any of you have that problem? Also, the antiglare filter would be grayish, like a flat black with lighting on, which i do watch in nightime with lights. Is that normal?


Let me know between these two. Thanks.

the Samsung is a joke compared to the st30...........if you have a problem with the st30 screen........wait until you see the glare from the Sammy....the Panasonic costs at least twice what the Sammy costs...not a fair comparison.

Got 42ST30 from BB at the end of April and it has been perfect since I plugged it in. I have TW cable, Roku 2XS and a Panasonic 110 blu-ray player hooked up to it and all three look amazing. Not one problem (I never go looking for them) since day one. In fact, the display has been so good that it will be the first display I am not going to get ISF calibrated. It looks that good. I did buy a Sony 150 soundbar to use with it since the speakers are only so-so. People who have the display who game also give it a lot of thumbs up as far as I've read. I say go for it, you won't be sorry.Of course this is my opinion others may have other things to say about the display. (though you might wait to see if Panasonic begins running any special deals with a purchase of these displays. That's how I got my free 110).
