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.

      Bryce Young Game Winning Drives

      By KaseKlosed · Posted

      Bryce Young has recorded 4 game-winning drives through nine weeks, leading the Carolina Panthers to crucial victories in tight contests. The 12-play, 58-yard clock-killer versus the Packers in Week 9 (16-13 upset). This pace positions him as the team's most clutch performer in years, with a 68.4% success rate on go-ahead drivesalready surpassing many franchise benchmarks early in his career.   Young's early 2025 surge (top-5 league-wide in clutch EPA at 0.28 per dropback) not only outstrips the debuts of Newton (2 in 2011) and Delhomme (1 in 2003) but hints at him climbing this list quickly if the Panthers sustain their wildcard hunt. Data underscores his growth: no other Panther QB hit 4 GWDs before Week 10 in a season.   The energy fans pour into the stadium directly shapes Bryce Young’s performance positive support has been shown to elevate his fourth-quarter efficiency by 12%, strengthening team cohesion and execution under pressure. Criticizing or booing the starting quarterback fractures morale, disrupts focus, and undermines the very resilience needed in clutch moments. When fans stand firmly behind their QB and team, they become a true home-field advantage, amplifying performance and accelerating the path to sustained success. Now are you a Carolina Panther fan or a Panther hater?

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      Bryce would have extended some plays scrambling with his legs but then again he also has a high number of fumbles so you never know what you're going to get and the way the Bills were getting after Andy (sacked 7 times) it stands to reason Bryce would have been under duress often. What exactly do you want here? I mean I'm going to go by the gameplan I saw after Bryce turned the ball over against GB. Clearly Dave Canales was deliberately trying to limit the opportunities for him to make a catastrophic mistake. And didn't Micah Parsons log zero QB pressures? So with that in mind if you are asking for anyone to argue our offense with Bryce would have had much if any success against that opportunistic motivated Bills defense while we were also splitting carries between Rico and Chuba who had the majority of them which ended up being a situation resulting in a weeks worth of scathing criticism and deservedly so then I'm going to just have to say we can agree to disagree.
