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.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
