I understand hoping people would get good tvs--no reason to hope they would get crappy ones. But you hope people buy sets from certain brands sounds similar to, you hope people would "buy American". Sure it costs a little more, but the quality's so much better. Show me how it's better, and I'll swipe my little crudit card. I'd say a blanket statement like this is somewhere between unhelpful and flamebait. And I hope you'd agree. (No, my screen doesn't display sarcasm.)]]>Oct 21st 2005 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/20/samsung-cheap-lcds-cheap-lcds/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/20/samsung-cheap-lcds-cheap-lcds/
You will find after the link is a comparison between the two. The Samsung offers consumers a comb filter for better RF signals, stereo sound, VGA input, and a base that can double as a wall mount. All this for $143 more. Plus, I could put up a good argument that the Samsung warrenty would be better supported although they both offer a 1 year on parts and labor.

Sure, there are some great buys out there if someone is just a basic panel. But if you do want the options you mentioned like more inputs, better picture through a more effecient image processor, and higher quality control. Buy the name brands.
