Perhaps you have already made your decision? What did you choose? This something I am also mulling over. Both seem to be very good tvs and both seem to have issues (buzzing, fading black levels, etc). When a decisding between 2 good choices is difficult, perhaps both either option is a good one? Price is important and the samsung is much less expensive. Save the money for the next hi tech device you need to replace?

I don't know how much help I can be but I'll give it a shot. I bought the Samsung because I own a Samsung LCD 46" bought in '08. I was quite happy with that TV so I stuck with the Samsung brand. I really think the 46" has a better picture than the 65" LED. Could be because of a consequential loss of picture clarity that comes with larger screen sizes. The UN65 has a dual core processor but if you're really into "smart," I recommend the quad core (more money of course). I subscribe to NFL game replays and they won't load well (and therefore can't view) with the dual core; I have to use my quad core computer. I think the UN has a really reasonable price, but you generally get what you pay for (as the old saying goes). Bottom line . . . I like the UN65 but, at the same time, I am a little disappointed. The only way you'll ever know is to look at them side-by-side and remember, showrooms do not have real-life broadcasts (in most instances) so when you get one home, your picture may not be a great as in the showroom. Hope this helps somewhat and good luck!

There is a new rebate. It is 175.00 off of the B750. Here is the code according to the email I received June 16. Hope this helps. Why buy that when you can get a Panny 54G10 for 1819.94, plus a free 200 dollar Panasonic camera on Amazon. Not sure how long that will last.Use Code 72ZMWQBR for $175 Savings on Samsung LN52B750 52-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV with Charcoal Grey Touch of Color $2,299.00

Yea I can't wait that long and I heard this TV has a horrible buzz issue so I'm sadly just going to downgrade a buy a PN50B650. It's the exact same TV except not as thin, yet still pretty thin.

I went with the G10 over the S1 for a couple reasons. The first one being the VieraCast and the ability to hook into the internet with a LAN connection. This is a big key, in my opinion, for future proofing your purchase a bit. Second, I believe the G10 has a better picture. The picture processing appears more fluid and less pixely than the S1. I saw the S1 at Sears and was a bit disappointed...not terrible, but wasn't what I thought it would be. (Please know that I have a Pioneer Elite Kuro for my other TV besides the Panasonic G10). I have read both sides saying that the S1 and the G10 were the same, but I have also read that they are slightly different. I believe I could notice the difference and I thought the G10 looked better. I spent the extra $$ for the future proofing feature and the slightly better picture quality.

AJ, etc. I currently have the new Samsung 6900. It does not have these issues at all, but I am in the process of returning to Amazon due to the fact that I can only get 4 mpps over wireless, yet I have a 20Mpps network. I ordered the Panisonic BD-85 which should arrive Wednesday. On the Samsung you CAN view and even search for movies in Netflix, then choose and watch and the GUI interface is fantastic. If the Pany won't do it, I'll be returning both. Guess I got a bad 6900 as it is CNET's best of 2010.

I am choosing between the Panasonic DMP-BD55K and Samsung BD-P2500. This is how I see it:For the DMP-BD55K:Audio decode includes DTS-HD Master Audio. Samsung does not today, but they claim an upgrade will be available by the end of the year.Great reputation for Blu Ray player stability and compatibility. Samsung has had a reputation for disc incompatibility, slow firmware updates and some reliability issues.For the BD-P2500:Netflix supportCheaper by about 30 bucks on Amazon.EqualBoth have 7.1 AnalogBoth do DVD upscale very well. Samsung has HQV, which should in theory make it better, but in practice the Panasonic does just as well.I'm leaning Panasonic because I trust the brand more, but the Samsung is still very tempting.

Arthur,Cnet (www.cnet.com) which does alot of testing, rated the Panasonic 58" 800u as one of their editor's choices for 2008. As mentioned in a prior response to you, AVS Forum speaks very well of the Panasonic. Like you, I worried and researched for 3 months. While www.consumerreports.org likes the Samsungs, most everyone else likes the Panasonic. It seemed to me the jury was in favor of the Panasonic by a majority so that ended up as my choice and Panasonic also has one of the best reliabilty ratings.Dave

I purchased the Samsung LN52A860S2F a couple of days ago and I was told by the merchant that these tv has a better picture quality then its predacessor, but I can't find that fact anywhere. I wonder if I got tricked in to paying $200 bucks more for nothing.

On my two 55 inch Viera TVs I watch channels that seem mostly to be full screen: CSPAN, news and money channels, - but no movies or sports. The great grandkids watch cartoons when I let them. We used to get a 4x3 size, but I really do not notice if pictures are HD or not. I use Direct TV satellite and pictures are sharp on the Viera when you can find a decent program. I am told that break in is not the problem that it used to be with Plasma, and Panasonic seems to have a better maintenance record than some other makes, - important for seniors who keep their things for a long time.

I just checked on Amazon again. They are listing it for $1139 once you have put it in the "cart" and are at check-out. They are currently out of stock, but you can pre-order at this price. I purchased a Samsung PN50B650 couple of months ago and could not be happier with it. I paid $979.98 from V a n n s . c o m, but they no longer have it at that price. I want to buy another one for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary present; I sure hope the price comes down again by then.

I saw this model in Circuit City. The color balance looked a lot better than the equivalent 1080p 50" Samsung. We messed with the Samsung's R/G tint and the Panasonic still looked better. The Samsung baseball players all looked red (Oompa-Loompa-like) or otherwise strange. I think the only issue about the Panasonic is, it isn't very bright in the face of external glare.

I have a panasonic viera model no. TC-P42ST30 and they work just fine, its a 42 inch plasma but they sholuld work with the ST30, GT30 and VT30 from 42" to 65" and I believe the ST25, GT25 and VT25 also in the same measurements.

That clinches it. Amazon's good about accepting returns (I returned a Samsung late last year), but sounds like it's not worth the hassle this time. Thanks for confirming my choice. (I like Panasonic, too, but when I ask for a personal favorite from some of these sales guys who are around hundreds of TV sets every day, they almost always say Sony's the one.)
