I'd try a little harder to find the Panasonic. Even if it costs more than the Samsung or LG, they make better sets, so the money is worth it. LG is at the bottom of my pile for electronics manufacturers, all their stuff is just so cheaply made (don't forget they were Lucky-Goldstar before the rebranding). Samsung ranks a little higher; I classify them as "the best of the cheap stuff". Still with Pioneer out of the plasma running, Panny is the way to go.
