I will purchase a 1080P TV. My candidates are FPT5084 and PN50A550. I know that the FPT5084 has 1000cd/m2 brightness. But what about the PN50A550? This one has 30000:1 contrast ratio but, the brightness still is an important factor. The burn filter really works?

Check out these two existing threads that compare the same two sets

After researching a bit:

FPT5084: 1500CD/M2

PN50A550: 1000CD/M2

PN50A650: 1300CD/M2
