I have also ordered smaller ticket items from this site. Great prices and fast shipping. Have you ever ordered anything large from there? Just wondered.

Only computer parts. The largest thing I've ordered was a monitor.

But, I wouldn't hesitate to buy a TV from them. Their customer service has been great so far.

You do realize those are both only 1024x768 resolution and therefore only 720p?

A PC hooked up to them would likely look blocky, while television and movies would be fine.

For myself though, I would go 1080p for any screen over 40".

[snaggeltooth]

Look for so end of year deals too.. When I bought my 42" Samsung at Sears it was already $100 off .. and I got it on a Sunday night sale of 10% off .. So you have to watch for those ...

If you are sick of doing research just go to amazon and pick out a samsung plasma in your price range.

[KahanaReef]

I like to use Cnet reviews when I'm looking for a new TV and such.

I have the Samsung LN40A550 in my bedroom, which would be one step down from the B model. I have had it for about a year now and bought it through Amazon.

You won't be disappointed with any of those selections IMO.
