Value Comparison Summary These two TVs have similar price points and sizes, but use different display technologies and had very different test scores. The Philips matched the Panasonic's scores in many places, but the Panasonic tended to out-perform the Philips.
Blacks & Whites The Panasonic has a much deeper black than the Philips. Although the Philips is brighter, the Panasonic still manages a better overall contrast ratio.
Color Accuracy The Panasonic out-performed the Philips on our color temperature test. The two had similar color representation and gamuts.
Motion The Panasonic had some serious issues with blurring and artifacting. The Philips had its own problems, but they weren't as bad.
Viewing Effects This isn't really a contest. As a plasma, the Panasonic has a very wide viewing angle; as an LCD, the Philips does not.
Connectivity The Panasonic has another component input, but lacks the Philips' composite and S-Video inputs. The Philips also has a USB port for photo and music playback.
