Going for a new plasma television, help needed.	Can't Post

Hi all,

So i'm about to make my purchase, after reading every single review of this tv, but then i stumbled upon a forum where people were discussing this tv and one particular person strongly adviced NOT to choose this tv. The guy said this.

Potentional VT20 buyers, please don't. I've had this model and and this one has problems with serious retention/burn-in, which doesn't seem to go away easily. Panasonic has traded this VT20 for the VT30 without any extra costs because there was no way to save the VT20. Panasonic didn't say it in these words, but there's a structual problem with the VT20. Also weird that there's no 'pixel orbiter' and the 'scrolling bar' on the VT20.

This function IS present on the VT30 and i must say next to clearly better picture quality, it doesn't seem to have any troubles with retention or burn-in.

And of course the burn-in thread from Tomasgajan on this forum as well...has me worried...alot.

Is this a common problem, or more like that some people just got 'unlucky' ? Cause i honestly didn't read this in ANY of the reviews.

Other tv's i am considering if i'm not going for the VT20

Samsung PS51D6900

But in what ways are these models inferior to the Panasonic VT20?

Help is greatly apreciated.

About a month ago my wife and I moved into our new home and we bought a Panasonic TC-P42S2 42-Inch screen tv

http://www.amazon.com/...tag=thenerdsnextd-20

that works great. Good bang for our buck. <br> <br>My wifes parents also bought us a house warming gift of a Panasonic VIERA TC-P46S30 46-Inch.

Her father has always been big with Panasonic. Great brand and the quality of our TVs are great. Awesome warrenty if you're looking for that too.

Samsung has made considerable improvements to the audio quality of its 2011 TVs. The PS51D6900 looks lovely in an understated way, its extra inch of picture is appreciated. The onscreen menus are excellent, too, in the way they explain each feature when you select it.
