Chris,
I tried for months to find the best deal, and best picture.
I finally decided to get Plasma as it seems to have the best picture quality.
LCD is better though if you play games.
Now for the best tip ever. Dick Smiths (sorry) sell a brand called 'Vivo' at very cheap prices. They are Samsungs in a re-badged case!
We got our 42" High Definition Plasma for $499 from them and it is a pearler.
So if you want a cheap Samsung, look for Vivo at Dick Smiths
They've gone up to $527, but here it is:
