Panasonic has the best reputation (since all they make are plasmas 42" and above).

But at such a low-end it's not going to make a difference. Go with cheapest price.
There's a sucker born every minute.

Get the Samsung if you do OTA...so far, the ATSC tuners function in my Samsungs are pretty good.

The 3 are priced within ~10% so I give edge to Panasonic as they are usually unjustifiably 25% more expensive than others. LG has the most HDMI ports which is an important feature.

Basically I wasn't really trying to be helpful LOL.
