Samsung are the very best!
My 19 inch “Portable” Sony Trinitron, with the push buttons for each channel is doing just fine.
(By a 47 or 46 inch LCD for less than a 1,000 bucks.)
Ditto on Samsung. I have the 55” LED Series 8 for about 9 months. It has been fantastic.
I had also bought a Samsung home theater from Circuit City, and took the warranty out on that too. It's a good thing I did, because the DVD player was in the shop 4 times for repair in the first two years I'd had it. This spring the damn DVD player burned out. I called the warranty service, faxed in a copy of the original receipt, and they sent me a refund for the full purchase amount.
42” samsung here. Love it! Great pic from all angles in all lighting conditions. After reading all of the reviews, shopped online for best price and got it for under $500! Must admit that we hooked up an inexpensive (under $100) sound system that we already had and use that instead of the TV’s internal speakers.
