Mostly I like the Toshiba picture. But also it seems that generally speaking in digital video the Toshiba today is pushing the envelop while Panasonic, while obviously good, is a bit more traditional. I have heard that opinion from several serious people in the industry - I myself am not a video expert.

One thing to compare of course is the quality of the internal line multipliers - by watching the same interlaced DVD sequence with moving slanted lines. The one in Toshiba is darn good for an integral one. For instance, take a look at that awful Lost in Space near the beginning where guys in darn uniforms move against light background. The degree of their slanted shoulders developing jagged edges is a very good indication of the doubler quality.

But I presume the Panasonic is not far behind and looks can be important. So it may be one of those Acura vs. BMW decisions.
