Hi,I have the v10 so i may be bias,but i saw the pana next to the award winning phillips in john lewis yesterday and thought that picture and motion was better but that is not answering your question it is just noting that i thought that it was slightly better than the best tv this year.
sorry but because the samsaung was not next to the others cannot really comment but most of the tvs looked good.
