Samsung LN40A530 vs Sony KDL40S4100?

I just bought this Samsung model at Best Buy last week for $1199 and I have been enjoying it ever since with no complaints. Today I went on Future Shop’s website and they have this Sony model which has pretty much the same specifications as the Samsung with the exception of a 3ms slower response time. I went to Future Shop to discuss this with a sales rep today and they said they’re going to perform almost identically, he also said you can’t notice that slight difference in response time unless you upgraded to 120hz refresh rate (these are both 60hz).
Future Shop currently has a sale for this TV, a $300 BluRay player, and Iron Man for $1299, only $100 more than I paid for the Samsung.

That being said, I’d like some unbiased opinions on what I should do here… take the Samsung back to Best Buy and take advantage of Future Shop’s deal or am I better off with the Samsung?

On a side note, I will be using this TV primarily for gaming, watching HDTV programming, and eventually even if I stick with the Samsung, for BluRay movies.

Thanks!

Which seems better? Samsung or Hannspree?

I am shopping around for the fall to make my first HD LCD TV and the ones that have caught my eye are the following ones.

I am thinking about the Hanns one mainly because I love my Hanns monitor that I got, but I want to hear if anyone has any good feedback about which will last longer.

Here are the links of the TV’s since more than likely I will go through either Best Buy or Walmart for the TV.

I hope that this will help anyone and I appreciate the feedback. I am thinking about this mainly because when I get a next gen video game machine I want to push it to it’s limits with HD and BluRay capabilities.

Which TV would be better…Toshiba, LG or Samsung?

We are shopping for a 22″ tv and have come across these 3:

Samsung

Toshiba

LG

Samsung PN50A450 – is it that good?

I’m looking at the this tv on the future shop website…http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0770HDS0010099752&catid=…and I’m wondering if this is a good tv or not. I’m trying to figure out whether to go with lcd or plasma but when I saw the specs on this tv and the fact that it has 3D technology it’s kind of too good to be true. It’s cheaper than a few of the lcd tvs I have been looking at but it’s so much better at the same time. Why is the tv so cheap? Are there anythings I should know about? Would you go with this plasma or some other tv like an lcd? For this tv I’ll probably be using it for gaming and movies, along with obviously everyday tv. Thank you for any help.
sorry the link on futureshop is

yes, I was thinking about the burn-in effect on the tv, however the features include “anti-burn-in tech”. Does that really work or can it still suffer this problem?
So lcd is the best way to go? or could I still deal with this tv as long as I make sure I don’t game for too long and take any precautions to the burn-in effect.

What do you think about the Samsung NV15 digital camera?

I read about it in a catalog of a local shop, and the price fits my wallet really well. So I want people opinions on this camera.
