At my last job (which I worked at for 4 1/2 years), we stocked both LG and Panasonic blu-ray players. Let me state up front that I'm partial to LG. My 55" LED TV is made by LG. Out of the box the Panasonic players looked like absolute junk and nothing in comparison to the LG's. We consistently sent the Panasonic players to our service department and they even said the things were a thorn in the side. LG's did go to service here and there but considering it was rent-to-own store, there's no telling how much abuse they suffered either. You couldn't pay me enough to have a Panasonic.
