The Samsung does look impressive but it is very subjective:

Verdict:
It oozes style, but some problems with image quality and poor internet TV functions prevent the 8000 from becoming a showstopper.

I can second that with sound, I don't think I have ever turned the volume up on my TV! I have a Denon 7.1 surround amp and panasonic speaker setup, we bought a derelict cottage a couple of years back and I plastered all the cables into the walls

Yup hate cables did the same thing chased out and filled!! just dont do what my mate did fill it then realise crap i only put 1 hdmi cable in the wall haha

haha tvs is on chiney breast and all cables go thru that all the sky box surround ect are below in the old fire opening so no cables to be seen there lol

i keep edging towards the 51" samsung on my first post but the lg 3d seemed better in the shop when i looked saying that he couldnt get the 3d video to work properly on the samsung so didnt really get a good look at that but the 2d to 3d looked pretty good on the samsumg

decisions decisions

It has to be a matter of preference really, we definitely sell more Panasonics than anything else and we sell Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, Sharp, Toshiba, and then some cheaper makes.

As for the reviews, was just stating that is is subjective for the above reason, you obviously prefer Samsung, I prefer Panasonic, doesn't make either of us wrong...

True does your company only service panasonic with repairs?

No we do others too, we don't just do televisions, we also do alot of commercial stuff so we have service agreements in place with quite a few manufacturers
