Time to choose between these two sets

[kermit1073]

After ploughing through many threads and review,it has came down to a straight choice for me between

Pansonic TX-P42S30B

And

Samsung PS-43D450

Both have good review despite being at the bottom end of the range,especially the samsung despite only being 780,I'm not a gamer and not a big film fan,so it would just be everyday virgin hd use

What would the buffs opt for,I'm upgrading from an old CRT lump btw

Out of my budget I'm afraid,sorry I should have mentioned that
I have no need for 3D anyway,samsung seems a great buy for my low end budget,looks nice aswell,but I could streach to the panny if it's far superior

Richer Sounds have the ps43D490 for 380GBP - I would take a look at that. You might not want a 3D TV, but if you can get a higher spec TV for roughly the same price, why not?

Is it only a higher spec because of the 3D campatability?
