Actually i wouldn't buy either of them, my top 2 choices were the Sony Bravia XBR5 46 or 52 inch or Mitsubishi diamond LCD LT52 244 seiers for the 2 top tv's I waited and waited and Finally the 500,000:1 true contrast ration of LED lighting instead of traditional fl;uorescent lighting came out in Samsungs 81 series and blew them all away. Its like having a better picture than a PLASMA in a LCD...... I believe its the LNT series 4681F.... absolutely awesome, hook it up to a blueray and you will never leave the house...lol
Yes but well worth it, save a few more weeks and you wont be disappointed, or marry a rich guy...lol j/k
