Samsung LN-T4042H 40" HDTV LCD TV

Well i finally made the move to an HDTV and i have to say that i love the samsung 40" LCD TV.It was displayed with a 40" panasonic on one side and a 37" toshiba on the other and they were all playing the same movie.After playing with the settings on all 3 TVs the samsung had the best picture by far.I have had the TV now for 2 weeks and i am very happy with the purchase but i am a little disappointed with the so called HD programming offered by my satielite provider.Now i have read that not all HD programming is created equal and i can see what they mean.Some HD channels look amazing and others look no different that the SD programming and the HD seems to have alot of glitches.This is a great HDTV for the money,it has a great picture,sound and seems to be of good quality.Anyone thinking about getting a HD tv i would have to say wait a little longer,the HD programming just is not that good yet and the whole Blu-ray and HDDVD war has only just started and the players cost way to much right now.But if you have to have one right now then this samsung is a very good option.Also my advise is to shop around for the best price but also make sure you can get extended warranty,i got 5 years total with mine and i highly recommend it with any high priced TV because even though i think this technology is pretty good it is still a big investment and there are places that offer it so why not have that extra protection,just in case you get a bad one.
