Pan, simple its rated higher. Go to pricespider.com and type in both models. website takes a combine reviews from many websites and gives the tv a rating based on that. 4.8/5.0 for the pan vs 4.3/5.0 for the LG. Last I check 4.8 is better.

In terms of picture quality, I'd rate the 1080p models from these manufacturers in this order: Panasonic TC-LZ800, Sony KDL-37XBR6, Samsung LN-37A550, Sharp (which you didn't mention, and which I own) LC-37D64U, and LG last. But at a viewing distance of 10-15 feet, you should really be looking at a 40-42" screen, where there are some excellent 120Hz sets. Note that my typical viewing distance is 7-8 feet away.

I am certainly no TV guru but, I had purchased the LN40A550 & returned it & bought the LN40A650 & could not be happier! We noticed immediately that the picture looked faded on the 550 & went to one of the local retailers & found that this is a common complaint on these units. They actually had a LN40A550 & LN40A650 side by side in the store & there is a huge difference. We are very impressed with the picture quality regardless of what we are watching. We have had many friends commenting on the awesome picture on this TV. Hope this helps. Les

If you want a good technical review of both, check out Rtings.com. They reviewed the LN5700 last year and will have their review up of the LB6300 tomorrow. The review of the LB5800 series is already up and there are noticeable differences between that series and the LN5700 in terms of motion blur, uniformity, and bright room performance. All are important elements in terms of picture quality, and grey uniformity is particularly important if you want to minimize the "dirty screen effect" inherent to many LCD panel TVs (of course this can vary within the same model unit as well). If the review is similar for the LB6300 series as it is for the LB5800 series, I also think the LB6300 series is the easy choice unless your biggest concern is how it performs in a bright or sunlit room. Hope this helps.

I went today to look at HDtv's. I saw both the 46XBR4 and the 3000W and another 3000? Sony. All I can say is that by far the XBR4 was crisper and brighter, it looked more like reality. They had ESPN-HD feed on from Direct-TV. Is the difference worth the price, that's something you have to decide. Go look at them, I saw them at CC. I actually spent a good hour in a recliner they had setup and just watched the 46XBR4 comparing it to the sets around it. This is the one I'm getting, it was simply the best picture constantly, even better than models bigger in size with 1080p. It really stood out in the finer details when next to the other sets.

I have the LNT5265F and I love it love it love it! A friend has a Pana Plasma. I don't think Plasma has come far enough yet. Plasma has the potential to be better than LCD, but not yet. Go with the Samsung. I have 3 Samsungs 52", and 2 40" and they are all great.

This is a great TV, every reviewer gives it top notch reviews, especially for the price, so yes, I'd advise the same TV. I bought it & Ihave a little pause when tuning to a new channel, Panasonic asked me to try a new cable, which I will do. I bought from Amazon.com, the delivery man made sure the TV at least looked in good shape when it was delivered...he took the box off, etc. We are very, very happy with it. Linda

My new 50" S30 is not as bright as the 3 year old 42" (720p) Panasonic plasma it replaced. The picture quality, however, is much better than the old plasma. It took me a couple of weeks to get used to it, but now it doesn't bother me (installed in my basement, little natural light) And keep in mind no plasma will be as bright as a LCD HDTV.

I was interested initially in the 40A550, but ultimately went with the 40A650 because the important features were a priority for me, maybe a bit of futurizing. But now that I've had the 40A650 for 10 days, I've just made the plunge and am exchanging it for a 46A650. I figure I haven't bought a tv in 16 years, let alone a flat screen or high def, so I'm getting exactly what I want and I wouldn't want bigger..but for me the type I want came first if that was the only choice..don't know if this helps but as this post was 4/08, you may be past this by now..Good luck..

Can't make up my mind between Sony KDL-32L4000 for $474.53 or Sony KDL-40S4100 for $858.83 out the door. Will be for master bed room or for "fitness" room (incentive...). Any recommendations? Which one is a better deal?-This depends upon how far your equipment is from the television. 8 more inches for $400 seems like a big jump. There has to be better values if you want a bigger television. However, the price for the 32" is a great deal.

I've seen the 47" at Frye's (in California), it looks nice. I want the 5500 too. Just can't decide on 42" or 47". The LG matt screen finish helps with daytime glare from a window. Samsungs are too shinny.

I think they are both excellent tvs. I was deciding between the 2 models, and finalized my choice when I checked them out at the store. I went with the Sony 40v4100.

Hey I know you guys posted a couple of weeks ago, but if it helps, I have owned both the 4065 and the new LN46A650. I can tell you that the picture quality on the new series is literally leaps and bounds above the older models. I personally think that the 650 series is one of the, if not the best available lcd tv on the market today. If you do not want to spend the extra money on the new series, the 4065 is much better than the 4061, has a better processor, higher contrast ratio, brighter screen for better color saturation, etc.

Thanks for the reply. I went with the T260HD which was $50 less. When I get the TV I will post how I like it.

I personally like the 50" Panasonic plasm. I have mostly looked at the 50PZ700u. I person I work with, who is a stickler for this kind of stuff, bought this TV and really has enjoyed it. According to him you really cant beat it without going up in price by a few thousand dollars. Just as a side note, best I can tell these couple of models use the same panel and just have a few minor differences.50PZ700U - My preferred right now50PZ750U - Same with some more plugs and color settings. Costs more as well.50PZ77U - Not totally sure what the difference is, but it seems very similar. I personally like the 50" Panasonic plasm. I have mostly looked at the 50PZ700u.
