I would go with the Panasonic. I think that has the better video processor. You can't go with contrast ratio alone nowadays, more is not necessarily better.

If you can go into an AV shop and ask to see them both running side by side, you should see what one's better. If the shop wants a sale, they should gladly help you out.
 
Stick to pioneer or panasonic - you wont regret it!!!
 
thanks for the replies guys

would have def. gone for the pioneer 428xd, its just out of my budget atm
thats y i decided to go for the cheaper ones ..
just was confused btwn samsung n panasonic

but looks like panasonic is a clear winner
