My son is looking at 3 plasma tv's a LG 50PG20, a Panasonic 50PX80U and a PN50A450 all 720P and in the same price range. Sears has the Panasonic for $900 (thru Tuesday), Best Buy the Samsung for $1050 and a local tv store the LG for $1200.

Any thoughts on these three models? Even though it's higher priced I'm slightly leaning toward the LG only because it's from a local dealer that's been in business since 1950 and they have superb delivery and setup plus they service what they sale.

Any comments on the LG 50PG20?

If you use a HMDI cable to connect say a dvd player to the tv can you still run an analog audio cable also to a receiver (old and it lacks any digital inputs) at the same time?
