Samsung 27" widescreen LCD HDTV w/ Digital Tunar. Model #: LN-S2738D. 1366x768 resolution. 3000x1 Contrast Ratio. 698 at Wal-Mart.com. HDMI Input and Component input as well. Has VGA 

Samsung 27" Tube HDTV. Model #: TX-T2793H. screen resolution of 800Lines (horizontal). 2 HDMI input and 2 Component input.(all run up to 1080i, expect HDMI which runs at 1080p as well) 549.99 at circuit city.com.

So, which is the better buy of the 3? thanks for the help

IMO number 2.Axed54

whats the difference between 2 and 3? 3 is less expensive is it not?

Number 2 is LCD and I prefer that to a tube(personal preference). I also like the 3000 x 1 contrast ratio.Axed54

I know yours is a personal preference, but the 3000:1 is dynamic and contrast ratio on a tube is soooo much better that it doesn't really get measured. :D
