Panasonic Viera TX-P42X10B 42in Plasma TV

Cant help but feel Panasonic are getting left behind a bit, it's been a long time since they produced anything with any particular lust value. On that subject, do you have any reviews of the new Samsung line up on the cards?

@prag fest - TR have just done a review of a 40" set from the new Samsung range (LE40B651). It got a pretty good score too:

I have just got one of these after a 42px80b so can compare the two directly. My Girlfriend has a 37px8ba.
The x10 appears to be a small downward step for anyone who is mainly viewing SD. All the none-hdmi inputs except the pc D giving inferior overall viewing quality to the px80. A picture via the tuner (even an external cable box signal) is significantly inferior.
Although the blacks do seem deeper and very dark films like predator2 give superb quality dark scenes, the brightness appears to have suffered in direct relation. The panasonics really cannot take a lowering of the prior brightness levels (which aren't what anyone could call bright) without detriment to many common viewing scenes.

It would seem like the px80 models (if you can still get them) are still the best budget panasonic option for SD viewers.
Having said that, the x10 is still head and shoulders above anything else in their price range. (£620 from the local branch of a nationwide store)
For pc D input gaming, and presumably via HDMI from a PC with dvi output, the response level is great, leaving LCD's for dead.

HD input displays with a quality that leaves many 'full hd' panels to shame, although lack brightness (when you fancy it)is still noticable.

It seems strange that a plasma which is sold as none-hd should be so good at hd, and have let slip (although still very good) on the SD front.
