Samsung PN64D7000 VS. Panasonic TC-P65VT30

Ok, we are at the home-stretch and it's come down to the 64" Samsung Plasma or the 65" Panasonic Plasma.

I'm really torn on which one, so I am open to feedback on the following:

1) Picture Quality
2) Reliability/Service History of Problems?
3) Sound Quality from the TV's Built-In Speakers (for regular TV viewing, not surround)
4) Off-Axis Viewing
5) Performance in Well Lit Rooms
6) User-Friendliness when Streaming (Netflix, etc.) from the Internet.

I have a hunch that this may just come down to personal preference. However, if you have any experience with either or both of these models that would offer a strong pro or con, please share your thoughts.

Thank you.

I would feel more comfortable directing you to the AVS Forum web site. They have specific threads for these two models. Do your search and ask questions there. They are more into video and have some excellent technical resources and contributors. Make sure you check out the calibration thread for whichever model you decide upon. It really makes a difference to use proper settings.
