I can get either of these (50") for about same price (within $100). How do you think the picture quality of the Panny G20/G25 will compare with the Samsung B860?


If I wait until the Pannies are in stores to see for myself, the B860 may no longer be available.

You're talking about a 2009 Samsung vs. a 2010 Panny. IMO, the 2010 model wins every time (reportedly much better blacks and better overall PQ vs. 2009 models, independent of brand).

The G20/25 will have MUCH lower black levels than the 860. Even after a black level rise, I'm confident the Panasonic will still easily beat the 860 in blacks.


The Samsung destroys the Panasonic in terms of styling, but that's about it AFAIK.

Thanks for your help.

Allen,


Sorry to bother you but I am looking at exactly the same choice and was wondering what you ended paying for either the Panasonic or the Samsung.


Regards.

$1500 for the 50" G20. Samsung was $1,580 for the 50" B860.
