Replaced my Bedroom Panasonic 42PV70 with this....
Panasonic 50X30S*compared it with the LG 50PA4500 side by side. The LG had the killer looks (razor frame) and at first had blacker blacks but as of closer scrutiny, the colors were more pale than the Panasonic. It had the same character as the Samsung plasma I saw at the store so I surmise the panels are similar. Never did like Samsung because of durability issues. So that summarizes my decision. Talking about Panasonic's track record on durability, I still have my old PV70 and PV8 delivering outstanding performance up to this day.
