Hey folks, new to the forum and could use some advice before the big sales in a few days.
Sears is running a sale on the Panny, and Best Buy is selling the Sammy on Friday. The Panny get's decent scores in the forum, but is pretty large and bulky, and they only advantage I see to it is a slightly higher contrast ratio. The Sammy is a hundred bucks more then the Panny, but seems to be just a 550 with one less hdmi input, which I won't miss anyway as all my inputs are running into a receiver first then into the tv. The 550 also get's high marks here in the forum, so I'm just not sure which one would be the better choice. The slight price difference means nothing to me, I just want to get the best picture possible for bluray movies like Avatar, and a low lag when playing video games. Any advice or input would be appreciated, thanks.
