I've gotten a deal for this TV for 5200 out the door rather then 6400 listed. How good are the quality of this certain TV? 5k+ is a lot of cash so I want to make sure it's worth every penny. :)

Samsung 52" LED LCD

LED is cutting edge, check it out, Best buy had some on display...

That other brand I never heard of.

Buy a projection HDTV the same size for $800-1200 and spend the rest on something better. :D

Samsung is already planning out the 2000x4000 LCDs...so I dunno that I'd be dropping 5 grand on a tv right now.

Save yourself some cash and get a rear projection or plasma and wait it out.

Well, we bought a very nice Sony Bravia 1080p 50" rear projection LCD today for $1200 ("without a box" special at CC so we saved $200). :D

Can't wait to hook my PC up to it and try some games on it at 1920x1080. :D

Sony doesn't make a 50" Bravia RP LCD. Sounds like you bought a 3000 series SXRD which is an LCoS set.

Worthless. Name a source you could feed it.

That's a ripoff bro. You can get an LCD that size for a lot cheaper.

Here's a 47in 1080p LCD for $1400 at newegg

While Westinghouse isn't the crem de la crem of LCDs, it does amazing things for it's rock bottom price.

If you want something larger than 47in I suggest you go with a Sony Rear Projection TV.

Future tech man..just saying. ;) You never know what's around the bend...especially in the HD market.

Point was I would not be dropping that kind of cash on a tv right now with the tech in the state of flux that it's in. Especially not one that size.
