2 plasmas subjected to burning: Samsung and Panasonic!

We are getting to the end of our successful summer series, but as with the best series, there’s been an unexpected twist in the plot: the arrival of a guest star, the Panasonic G15, to turn everything upside down, a spanking new model from the Panasonic plasma range.

Put yourelf in Pansonic’s shoes for a second. Do you feel the cold sweat as you discover the results? Panasonic followed the story of the Samsung PS42C96HD with a lot of compassion and were certainly in no hurry to participate in our torture series. Indeed, they had no intention of subjecting their screen to the same tests, but here they are, discovering like you, by means of this article, that their most recent plasma, currently being launched, has been designated as the volunteer for our famous crash test. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts…

For starters, we hadn’t completely finished with the Samsung PS42C96HD. It was resubjected to the fixed image of our homepage for an hour, followed by a snowy screen, to allow us to determine if this new method was more effective for getting rid of any marks.

Once we’d got tired of torturing the poor Samsung, we threw ourselves with great abandon on the Panasonic G15. What a pleasure it was to get to grips with a brand new high-end plasma. Same test: one hour with a fixed image!

So how did things go? Don't miss these two episodes that bring us right up to the final chapter! What excitement…
