new tv for me!! help me decide!!

I prefer the Samsung’s over the other brands. They are doing great. I would suggest u to go for it. It’s definitely a good buy, both in terms of the price as well as the features it provides. And I believe LCD is better than plasma, if you go to a store where they have them turned on, you can compare the brightness of a plasma and LCD.Try this http://www.checkcost.co.uk/lcd-tvs/c/4329/ and for this may help you out to have a good deal on Lcd’s.

When you are shopping around ask the Sales person what they have at home. I was originally looking at LCD's but chose a Plasma as most of the guys I spoke with had plasmas. As for Screen glare how often do you really sit down in a bright room to watch TV? This is the only time a glare issue will really effect your veiwing. Also consider you will pay more for 120Hz - plasma motion blurr is not the issue like LCD. When viewing and comparing in stores consider most settings for brightness is usually set high. Burn in issue in plasmas is not what it once was. Take a DVD or Blue-ray with you & ask them to play it - or if a gamer maybe see if you can try a game - get them to turn on a sporting event (Baseball, hockey, basketball, Football, etc.) Go see a friends for reference . Also most cable & satillite HD broadcasts are only 1080i or 720p.

Hope this helps

Actually my TV viewing is done mostly in a bright room. Some people don't mind glare or get used to glare. Glare is a deal breaker for me.

This might also depend on your room. If you're from NY or NJ, there's a company called AV-Setup, they've been helpful for me. If you need more info, here's their web site: www.av-setup.com

Keep in mind that Plasma sets are power hogs....go to best buy and touch one and you will see the heat it generates.
As power bills go up, yours will too especially during summer as the set will make the AC run longer.

The LED Backlit LCD's are the rage right now. Super color definition and low cost use are two very important factors. Plasmas are great but do use a lot of power and heat up quite a bit. Prices on plasmas have really bottomed out suggesting their unpopularity, just my guess.
