There's a Panasonic TX-L42E6B on offer pretty much everywhere for £499 at the moment, and it's a fantastic TV.

You'll get probably equal numbers of either side of the fence. Personally I avoid Samsung wherever possible due to many previous issues with their support, and I've never had an issue with Panasonic.

This. (with a Caveat though) I'd go and see one on display working against its equivalent LG & Samsung models & let your eyes be the Judge.
