Which TV should I go with?

My Samsung 50" Plasma got two horizontal lines at the top. Luckily I purchased an extra 3 years of warranty from Walmart.

Now they said they can't fix it so they want to replace it with a brand new TV

The models they gave me to choose from are..

Samsung PN51E450 - http://www.walmart.com/ip/Samsung...an+Options

Panasonic TC-P50X5 - http://www.walmart.com/ip/Panason...ifications

LG 50PA4500 - http://www.amazon.com/LG-50PA4500...B0072260GW

So far in my research I have come up with this :

Samsung = Best Reviews
Panasonic = Better Features
LG = Super thin frame.


I have to let them know in a few hours so I thought I would ask for some expert device, THANKS.

I studied TV's until I was blue in the face and what I found out is that Samsungs have the best picture, butttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt, they often blow the screens. OFTEN !
And yes, mine did too.
And now I have a lowly LG, because I'm damned if I'm going to pay that much money for a TV that only lasts a few years.
I'm not suggesting to buy an LG.
I'm suggesting to NOT buy a Samsung, unless you don't care about how long it lasts, in which case, definitely buy it, as it has the best image.

What do you do with it? Movies, TV, Sports, gaming?

Kind of hard to compare across different sites to a degree. Your amazon shoppers will be a bit different from your walmart shoppers. You can see that in just the length of each review.

Try searching http://www.avsforum.com/f/ for each model number and see if anything comes up. These guys are obsessed and should have an indication of quality of the screens etc.

Personally based off name and my experience I would go with Samsung, Panasonic, LG in that order, but the Panasonic in this case looks to be pretty good.

Tough call, I'd probably go with the Panasonic.

Panasonic for me too my MIL has one it looks great I almost don't mind visiting her

The way to a man's heart is through his stoma.. giant screen TV.

Yeah really tough call. I had a Panasonic. Then got a Sharp and thought the picture was great. Bought a Samsung and thought just as good if not better. The picture looks great on the Samsung but with my model Sharp it can be fine tuned more.
