| Samsung LN52A650 vs. Panasonic TH-50PZ85U: Which would you buy? I read the reviews of both, and it appears that the Samsung is slightly higher rated (going only on the CNET reviews). Both have favorable and near universal praise from owners. I've narrowed it down to these two screens, as representing (at least to me) the best bang for the buck in their respective fields.
I've seen both in stores, and had conflicting experiences, especially given the low-quality demo material.
Here's my quandary: The Samsung has the larger screen, and (on paper) the superior image processing abilities. I think it can do a perfect 1080p/24 processing as well, which mates very well with a Blu-Ray player.
The panasonic is cheaper, has less reflections, and a sturdier screen (with two small kids, that's a factor to me.)
So, ignoring price and reflection differences, which would you buy to watch TV, play video games, and some movie watching on?
I mention those three things, since I will principally be watching movies in my "real" theater with the front projections system. This TV is more for the wife & kids. |
