Beyond price one has to consider A.S.S. If one brings A.S.S into the equation I beleive the Koreans have done it again. Samsung (the Hyundai of the white goods business baring ACs) offers very good VFM.

They also have a wide range of LCD sets from fully HD with 3 HDMI inputs and greater than 10000:1 contrast ratio to simpler sets.

Actually there is little HD software out there. When i got my LCD TV (full HD) they gave a HD DVD player (I found out later it was not full HD) and HDMI cable free with it. However there is little software out there that takes advantage of either full HD or even semi-HD (or whatever they call it).

We compared the Sony and the Samsung and while the Sony offered better picture quality and even aesthetics, we have heard horror stories about their service so got the Samsung.
