SONY or SAMSUNG hdtv which is better

hi

im going to buy a hdtv in the next month

so my question is which is better between sony or samsung

which gives a better picture and which will last longer

thanx

Well, if you want to get a 1080p signal through any of the analog connections (i.e.- if you own a 360), then get a Samsung. Sony decided to take the console war to their tv's and don't allow 1080p through VGA or component connections...-GeordiLaForge-

Stop spreading misinformation. On Sony's product page for the KDL403000 at the bottom it states that the PC Input (VGA) is capable of 1920 x 1080P.

the brand should be the last thing on your mind
you should first consider the price, size, resolution, contrast ratio, and refresh rate.
what is you budget? because a 37in 1080p HDTV at $800 may seem like a great deal but infact will have noticable ghosting and grainy picture. The most important thing to consider when buying an HDTV is contrast ratio and not if its 1080p or 720p because a 32in 720p tv with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio will have a way better picture then a 1080p 37in TV with a 3000:1 contrast ratiomattyomo99
