32" Sony 500 or Sammy 550? Or LED?

Hi;
I am looking at the Sammy 550 and Sony 500 LCD's. The Sony might handle motion better but otherwise how do they compare?

And the main question; should I skip the 2 noted above and get the Sammy 5000 LED unit?

The TV will be set up in the corner of a living room next to sliding glass doors with tint. Better off angle viewing would be appreciated.

Interested in opinions from those who have seen them!
Thanks.

Hi Codename_Falcon;
I saw the LG and thought it was very impressive. But I heard about some banding or other issues affecting the LG's that concerned me. Are those issues not a problem in this set? If so I will go take another look!

Hi Servicetech571;
32" is as large as can be fit into an antique cabinet the TV will live in. It's really a secondary but frequently used TV.
I understand the limitations of the 32" size and am OK with that in this case since I just couldn't squeeze out enough room for a 37".

Hi BoilerJim;
I took a look at the LG 32 LE5300 today in 2 different stores, Best Buy and PC Richards, a local family owned chain store. It looked good as far as I can tell; I couldn't judge too much as the sets were just thrown on the display shelf and turned on, all under harsh lighting...no adjustments or ISF'ing so there was no basis for a true comparison. But under those conditions, next to the Samsung LED, I think it looked fine. Certainly in the same class and with a way better feature set than the Sammy.
Based on your comments, some on-line reviews and listings, I think you guys are putting me in a good direction!
Thx.

This TV ends up in a corner of the living room with a viewing chair 6' away. Others in the living room may watch casually. It's really meant for 1 person.
When we want some more serious viewing we move to the real system downstairs.
I don't want to waste $ but am seeking the best value I can find.

I don't believe I can make a mistake with any of the better CCFL's from Sony, Sammy or LG (5xxx series in all brands). Same for the LED's. But is the difference between the CCFL and LED worth it? For me, maybe...
When I saw the sets the LED's were significantly clearer and more detailed. I didn't try out the viewing angle but I heard LED's had an advantage there. They were also brighter under those elegant fluorescent bulbs. Is their ability to handle reflections better too?
I know what I saw was "ootb" with no changes. That's what makes this more difficult than it needs to be!

Hi dthompson;
Did you see the Sony @BB this week? I think they have a sale on so it is less than the LG right now. BTW, no prices allowed.
The stores are poor demo sites. I've seen CCFL and LED look similar at one store and LED look better at another. I'm not sure what to think!
Are you in the HTFD area.

I think I would do the same thing and be very comfortable. Was the LG at a B&M near you or on line?
BTW, I know someone by the same name in HTFD.

Hi Guys;
I wanted to thank you for your advice. While we all have different priorities for me LG is a great choice. On my way to buying the LE5300 I found a great deal on the LE5400 so I bought that instead.
This is one of those cases where I was encouraged to check out a set that wasn't in my sights...
When I get the TV I will let you know how it works out.
Thanks again for your help!

Got the LE5400 3 days before delivery due date from Amazon. Fantastic deal!
It took a bit of time but with the help of another thread on the 5400 series I found some settings that improved the picture dramatically. I will eventually break out VE but not yet.
The picture using digital cable is suprisingly good, even very good! I still need to add a B-R player to really see what this set can do but so far it has exceeded expectations.
Sports with movement are clean and clear. People look like they should...so if my wife is pleased, I'm pleased!
2 issues I need to get some help on:
1) When changing stations sometimes the connection appears to be lost and snow appears on the screen, then the TV makes a clicking sound before tuning in the station. This is with an HDMI connection and a SA box from Optimum Cable. Is this some type of handshake issue? Haven't tried it yet with component in but I don't know if that matters.
2) Is there any way to connect an external speaker using a connection other than the optical out? I didn't notice any other audio out other than the headphone jack.
We are very pleased with the TV. Thanks for your suggestions!
