if it was me i would buy a sony 42" 46"or 50" make sure its 1080p to future proof ur self and get a blu ray player either stand alone or ps3,
My choice would be 46" with ps3 that way u get the best out of two worlds. But if ur stuck on samsung get the 1080p one and just hope u dont have any probs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But 4 me who has had sony all my life and has given so many sets away once i get new ones all i can say is that sony are rock solid and have never had to take any thing back apart from cd walkman when thay first came out and that was me doing somthing wrong
