Any input from the TV savvy out there?


...or even general tips on tv buyng this year. LCD vs. plasma for one. I want to make sure I can watch hockey well.

That's a good price for a 40" 1080p TV. It has a lower contrast then other Samsungs and only has 2 HDMI ports whereas most mid level TVs have 3 but Samsung has a good name. To move up a little the Samsung 550 is $999 but if I spent that much I'd probably go for the 42LG70 at $999 as it has 120Hz, 4 HDMI inputs and a 40,000 contrast ratio.

Probably the 120 Hz is better for sports but if you don't want to worry about that go Plasma though plasma has it's own problems. Maybe look at the Panasonic 720p TH42PX80 for $979.
