Having just moved, I'm now in the market for a new HDTV. I've owned a Samsung 19" 720p TV, as well as a SyncMaster 226 22" monitor, and they've been great, so my initial instinct was to go with a Samsung, but I wanted to get some other opinions on different brands before I took the plunge. Basically, here's what I'm looking for:
40-50 ish inches,
1080p,
price range of about $1000-$2000
a fair amount of connectivity (E.G. multiple HD component and HDMI inputs)
I'm planning to watch a lot of Blu-ray rips on this, of all different kinds of movies (through my WD TV), as well as play Xbox 360.
Two that I've found that look promising are:
Panasonic TC-P50G10
Newegg.com - Panasonic VIERA 50" 1080p 600Hz Plasma HDTV TC-P50G10
Samsung LN46B750
Newegg.com - SAMSUNG 46" 16:9 2ms 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV LN46B750
Now, the Samsung is obviously stretching my price point a bit, but I've heard so much about it I figured I'd give it a shot. Does anyone have any in-depth knowledge (possibly personal experience) of either of these displays?
