The link you give is for a standard def model while the spec is for the HD model, make sure you know which is which

Pay a visit to the Plasma section over at AVForums, there are people with these panels that can give real life advice.

I'm not sure if it was the same model but I saw a similar model that was connected up to a distribution amp and tuned to a analogue tv channel. While all other tv's connected to the same signal showed a clear picture the samsang had distortion on screen.

I've seen problems on Sony and Samsung HD tv's and I wouldn't touch them with a barge poll.

So is there a ranking of brands that most agree on?

Sadly not I'd recomend the link posted a few above this, AVForums is much more mature than this particular part of DS, sounds like a pretty good buy to me. I've got a Samsung LCD that I'm very happy with, but that's not necescarily an indication that the plasma will be as good.
