i wonder got 46" U series plasma. I heard only 50" U series plasma... correct me if i am wrong... again...

so if buying a 42" plasma tv, FHD or HD ready, it doesn't really matter much right?

i hv decided to go for plasma instead of LCD. going to place the order within these two days. i hv compared these two: panny p42x28k and sammy ps42c451.

- panny's color or should i say "black level" seems a bit better than sammy.
- sammy's features (USB, DD optical output, more things to play around in the setting and adjustment) sure more than panny (SD slot).
- sammy's design is way better than panny.
- sammy's price (about RM100) cheaper than panny.
- both offer 3 yrs warranty with free HDMI cable.

i hv two questions:

1st, panny's black level decreased or hv problems (like those discussed in other threads, cases in the US, etc.) after about 300 hours or a certain period of time?

2nd, sammy's plasma last for long or not? easy to get spare parts for repair or not?

there is one feature in sammy's plasma where you can "wash' the screen to prevent or get away the IR/burn in images. i couldn't find this feature in panny's plasma.

any comment?

does it means Samsung plasma doesn't last longer than Panny's plasma?
