I think they are roughly the same... the most important question is which one would look better in your living room =)

Personally I like the look of the LG... but you should go down there and take a look at each one, probably looks better in person.

@ WHS
Actually, it's going to cost me less than $50 out of pocket. I have a $200 BB gift card. The last FIOS tech that was here broke my TV so they are reimbursing me $600+ tax.....so, $642 total. $842 all together for a TV that is either $799 or $849 depending on which one i get.

@ The Geek,
I went to the store and looked at them both. The picture looked the same to me. They both had their pros and cons. The cabinet for the LG does look a lot nicer with the Glossy black. LG was also in stock, had one extra Component input and the PC input. LG for the win!!!!

@WHS,

Nah, i DVR everything so i can skip the commercials. LOL ......you can't win.

LOL, that would be sweet. I ended up getting the Panasonic at the last minute. Everyone says they are the second best after Pioneer when it comes to plasma. Also, it only cost me $11 out of pocket.
