Samsung rated higher than the Panasonic on cnet, but I wanted a "frameless" and the 42" Samsung had a silver frame. I bought it online, btw, for $700 less than Best Buy wanted for it (the big one).
What's interesting about Best Buy is that they price match - - even an internet price.

My neighbor bought a 50-something inch DLP Sony TV a few months ago. He found the unit in a Best Buy, went home and found it for several hundred dollars cheaper on the internet.

He printed the page, brought it in, and they sold it to him for the same price, plus what he would've payed for shipping. The website didn't charge sales tax, either, so Best Buy's price was net of sale tax.

I had never heard before that Best Buy would price match against the internet, but they apparently do.
