samsung plasmas ftw. i have 2 50" and love them. i like it better than my samsung lcd. panasonic sucks. bought one for my mom and it cant touch my samsung for the monies. comparing apples to apples. if your gonna spend 2 g's go led. nothing touches it. period. game over. but i think your stoopid to spend 2 g;s on a tv when i can find you one for 1000 thats damn near just as good. but you may have monies to blow. plasma over lcd all day
