I am undecided about which one to get. I don't see too many LG plasma's, but I do see more Panasonic's.....both get high ratings on consumer reports.

Panasonic no question

How much is the price difference between these?
At some retailers is enormous and my eyes did not see much difference in their picture quality. I think Panasonic has a better reliability rating, however I have a 2-year old LG 42PG25 and had no issues whatsoever.
Worth to consider also the Samsung PNB450 with similar specs to those 2.
