They haven't really specified a series, just Panasonic in general. However, I am quite happy to oblige.
I am buying at Costco due to my membership rewards and the fact that the return policy and extension of the manufacturers warranty just kicks ass. Shopping at Costco, there is only 1 Panasonic plasma that is available to purchase, the S24. From what I understand, it is the lowest end they produce...and you can tell when you look at it and play with it on display. Everything is washed out, and from what I have read online Pannys have been having an issue with black levels on their newer models (again, quite noticeable in the store alone). Same research also yielded a better review rating of the Samsung.
Comparing the Panny to the Sammy it wasn't a hard choice. Besides they were really the only 2 in my price range. The PQ was better, as were the features. If this is Samsung's low end model, it impressed me much more than Panasonic's.
Conclusion: I was limited in choice and price, and in those limitations I was more impressed with the Samsung model.
