Based upon my more than 50 years of experience working on these things, I must tell you that I wouldn't consider buying a set from either company myself. Here's a list of brands that I would consider, and another list of brands that I'd stay away from:

Yay:
Toshiba
Hitachi
Mitsubishi
Sharp

Nay:
RCA
Zenith
Philips (Magnavox, Sylvania)
Sony
Panasonic
Samsung
Pioneer
any other brand that you (or anyone else) has never heard of

Hope this helps you

Woodman, I still see the Panasonic is in the "Nay" list
