Panasonic is one of the top, if not the best plasma manufacturer. You have not specified your budget. There are many models to choose from depending on your budget. Recently the 2012 tv's have been launched, so you have a greater selection from the current 2011 and the new 2012 models.

I would say LG. As i have 42 inch Plasma screen and i have very good experience with LG product line.

If you really want to delve into the subject, I suggest you read a bit on the history of plasma and the reference level Pioneer Kuros plasma's...............the greatest plasma ever made, some even consider them to be better than today's best. here is the link:
The Greatest Television Ever Made The KURO

Panasonic with recent advancement in plasma technology has managed to come close to the Kuro in many ways, and even equal it in a few tests. Their V/VT20 series took plasma technology to a new era and have not looked back ever since. You can have a look at their new plasma tv's:

Suggest to go for the models that come with neo pdp panels.........the results are truly AWESOME!!!

Panasonic 42ST30 is an excellent choice for 60k..............the new 2012 models have just been launched, not been able to ascertain pricing.

I have both LG and Panasonic and I would say the Panasonic has the upper hand. The LG has a lot lacking with the audio as well whereas the Panasonic is a solid performer. I am really not an expert in the area but visually both seem to be capable with video. Like I said, for me it boiled down to the poor audio on the LG.

+1 to panasonic... had both in 42" and panasonic wins hands down. LG used to have a lot of ghosting / burn in problem, but never seen that on panasonic.

can't really compare Panasonic with LG with relevance to plasma technology, not a fair comparison.............maybe with LED it might be a fair comparison but in plasma Panasonic is the leader. Panasonic has taken plasma technology to new heights after Pioneer stopped making plasma's.

 

[blackscorpio]

one sales guy at bestbuy told me that Panasonic is the world class in plasma and as some posted about the KURO, the best plasma ever. Panasonic acquired KURO from pioneer

I would say Panasonic. but I don't have personal experience with panasonic so take my advice with a grain of salt.

Hi,
You could go for Panasonic as others mentioned here.
I am using a Panasonic 42" V20 for two years and am fully satisfied with the perfomance.
I assume you have a media player to play the mkv files as the tv wont recognize mkv files on its own via usb port(atleast in my V20).Pls check that too.
I am using AC Ryan Playon HD for mkv files and it is a treat to watch.

All the best ..
