Default Looking for the perfect Tv... I need help...

I recently sold my previous hdtv because i wanted to upgrade.
The tv will be connected to my digital cable, xbox 360, ps3, and computer & everytime i think ive made my decision on what tv to get i change my mind. For instance, i want a plamsa b/c of how sharp the image is but i know it has burn-in issues so if i'm on the computer for long amounts of time the toolbar at the bottom could create a problem, then i think i want an lcd b/c they're more durable and better for gaming. I like to watch movies and i watch sports more than anything when it comes to cable so i think i need a fast response time.

Im lookin for a 40-42' tv under $1300 any suggestions?

Panasonic plasma. You can get great deals on the 2008 models right now, or go for one of the new 2009 models. You shouldn't have any problems with burn in on these, and they are better for gaming as they have much faster response times than LCDs.

Cool Hdtv

I have no idea what your budget is, nor at what price you have found this TV. Just remember, this Samsung is only 720p, not 1080p. Your PS3 is a 1080p player..I'm not sure of your XBox. Your computer would probably benefit from a 1080p dsiplay as well. And Samsungs have been known to have more problems than Panasonic. But, the final choice is yours. If you like the Sammy, it's in your budget, and you don't mind down resing your Blu-Rays, PS3 games and digital cable, then go with it.

Get the LN46A650, its a great set 120Mz, 1080P, all the good stuff, TOC is not noticable either. And close to your price range. It also will be 24FPS 1080P content.
