compare the warranty between the two… are they in home, do you have to ship… between those who I think this would be the biggest factor really. ---

I just received a 10% off at Circuit City coupon in the mail. Maybe I will go there for my new tv.🙂 ---

they are very comparable, and those were the two i was between as well. Two reasons I went with the LG… First, the LG has a 2 year MFG warranty when the Samsung had only 1 year. Secondly while i really like how the samsung looks, the colors are a bit cartoonish. They are extremely vibrant, which looks really sexy, but it doesn’t look real. The color on the LG is really “real” I feel, its a bit more vibrant than sony LCD’s which I think are extremely drab, but not over the top. It’s all preference on the color tho, either set is a good set, IMO. EDIT: Additionally, do not just go by what it looks like in the store, most of the TV’s are not calibrated well, if at all. Try AVSforums for some comparisons if you really want to get into it. ---

I just picked up the Samsung LN40A450 from Stereo Advantage, Aron hooked me up since I used to work there back in college. Is the HDMI cable worth in compared to a generic component cable? ---

probably not as long as the generic cable is not complete crap. but next time you order something from like amazon, or a cheap cable store, spend the $5 and pick one up. ---
