I have yet to hear any real reason that the samsung is not as good, anybody?

I was in no way suggesting you get an 850U, it's last years tech. The newer ones are even better. That's funny though about the 850U reviews you found. That model ran neck-neck with the Pioneer KURO last year for best plasma TV. All the reviews I read back then rated the Panasonic way up there and I LOVE mine. I was looking at the 50" KURO but they started having power supply problems. I didn't want to spend the extra $1500 either.
Here are a couple of reviews from HDGuru that helped me decide on my purchase of the 850U last year. They compare it against the Pioneer KURO.

Best reason I could give against the Sammy's is reliability. LG and Vizio are worse. The cheaper they get the sooner they break. Of course all manufacturers put out a few lemons but Panasonic has a very good track record for reliable, long-lasting HDTV's.
