Samsung LN-S4095D 40" 1080p LCD HDTV

Do you know if this is any good and if VGA is better than component for this TV or visa versa?  What are your thoughts...

Some yes, but I hear there are some Plasmas coming out now with a bit more resistance to this... I am still buying an LCD though lol

Just as they're making LCDs as vibrant as plasmas now. We're getting to a point where the difference is, more or less, a shiny screen. This particular LCD runs circles around any plasma I've seen in even VAGUELY the same pricerange. As far as color, contrast and all of that goes. The cloests match I've seen in a plasma was several thousand more. Forget that.

I have this tv and it is awesome. but I could not get it to hook up via VGA, however component worked no problem. I don't really notice a difference though when it is switched to1080p. I usually use 720p, because it gives a slightly better frame right and picture imo. Also with the current generation of lcd tvs the gap between plasmas and lcds is becoming neglible, to the average viewer, plus theres no nasty glare :P

though with DLP.. I have been told the bulbs progressively die and are completely dead in two years time.. needing a replacement bulb of around $400. Otherwise i would go for the DLP because its about the same price for 10" more

Kinda looks like a rip-off... I got a 57 inch Mitsubishi DLP for $1950 around Christmas.

Well I'd rather pay $400 for an extra bulb than buy an entire new TV once an LCD/Plasma TV dies.

Rear projection LCD runs cirlcles around floppy rainbow dlp and plasma is living in the 90's technology. Hands down rear projection lcd is the best compared to the other 2 flops I mentioned.

LCD/Plasma last roughly 8 to ten years. By that time there will be something new out that will make LCD/Plasma/DLP/LCOS a thing of the past. so paying $400 every 2 years may not be worth while. Either way your going to eventually want to upgrade to the newest cream of the crop set
