A lot of money is being spent to highlight the new Samsung LED HDTVs like the UN55B7100.  Unfortunately for all of the hype given to these television, their picture quality doesn’t look better than the Panasonic TH58PZ800U.

At AVSForum, they compare the UN55B7100 to the TH50PZ800U and the picture quality crown goes to Panasonic!  What’s even better is that you can save yourself over $1,000 by picking up the Panasonic since most stores are selling it for $2,300 versus the $3,800 stores are charging for the Samsung.

Below is a video the set from CNET.
