please help me decide between an apple and an orange. i had previously narrowed down my choice to a panasonic 42PV70H. and then i found this Samsung LA40N81BX. the price on the sammy made me think twice. the wife wants to go for the full hd lcd but i'm still biased to the plasma owing to the rave it is getting back at home as well as here (i'm in Singapore).
here's the side-by-side comparison:
