The Panasonic is not as user friendly, not as pretty, takes forever to load, and makes alot of clicking/humming/buzzing noises when playing a disk. I have both the Samsung BD-C6900 Blue-ray player and the Panasonic BDT350. I wish Panasonic would slim the bezel down more, and go to a wireless glasses recharger. Another thing that steered me away from the Samsung were all the reports of poor customer service on displays that went out. Sound is actually pretty good but I still run it through my Denon 7.1 surround system. This year the amount of light loss is much much less than last year, even tolerable. I wanted to buy the VT25 from last year but was still disappointed in the amount of light loss when putting on the 3D glasses. So I like the Panasonics heavier but more solid pedestal better. The spider stand on the D8000 was really flimsy in real life. My local dealer did a good job of matching internet prices and free delivery and set up. I like the medium setting which gives a lot of 3D without distorting the 3D effect like the maximum setting does. It has minimum, medium, and maximum settings for this. I'd swear the 2D movies I've been watching with this feature are 3D. Oh My God! the Panasonic is soooo much better than the Samsung in this respect. The feature that really wow's me is the 2D to 3D conversion. I don't like that Panasonic is still using infared since anything in the path of the beam cuts the 3D. I still don't like the feel of the Panasonic glasses but they say they are comming out with better ones mid summer. I really liked the new Samsung glasses, the bluetooth connection, light weight, large lenses, and even balance. The Panasonic however has a real nice graduation of 3D from front to back.

The 3D on the samsung looked a little artificial to me, that is like the cardboard cut out books that you open and they have one flat image after another. I had narrowed my choices down to the samsung pn59D8000 and the Panasonic p55VT30.
