I've had my eyes on the Samsung LEDs since they came out. The price hasn't come down enough for me yet.

As far as reviews, I always skip the "professional" reviews. I find that scores go up or down depending on the amount of advertising dollars from certain companies. I'm not saying Consumer Reports is guilty of this, but it is always in the back of my mind.

I prefer user reviews.

Quite simply most users are stupid, go with the pros or respected bloggers. Customer reviews are very unreliable.

I think one thing I don't like about pro reviews is that they note cons that most users will never notice in image quality.

Consumer Reports is pretty trustworthy. My parents went with a Panasonic 42 inch plasma based on CR reviews, not sure the model but they are really nice.

Panasonic Plasma's are great. I'd argue that they are the best value out there. You get great picture and sound quality, a large picture, and a low price.

LG LED tvs are awesome. I have a 50 inch plasma and 50 inch LED tv both from LG and love them. I would definitely recommend checking them out.

I agree. I have two LG plasmas. Another plus for LG is many of their models have 2 year warranties on the panels and then the standard 1 year warranty that everyone else offers on everything else.

One thing I'll say from my experience selling TV's for 2 years is that I saw way more Samsungs come back than anything else. We sold more Samsung's too so I'm sure that contributed a bit, but we also had way more Samsungs have issues on the floor than anything else. Seems that discolored lines were very common on the Samsung panels. We also had an unusual amount of Panasonics be broken out of the box.

Also, have heard countless nightmare stories about dealing with Samsung's customer service when problems arose.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
