What tv!? (the battle of sony vs samsung!)?

Question

i have FINALLY gathered the right amount of money to get a decent size tv for my room (26") but now its deciding time, sony or samsung. I will primarilly be using the tv for my ps3 so its all about picture quality to get the best graphics, i was wondering also if any of you have owned any of the tv's i am considering so i can get a good review

They are the Samsung LE26R87BD

or the Sony Bravia KDL26S3000U

I hope you can help!

Answer 1

Both of these are great sets but are both 720p. PS3 is a full HD input (1080p) so your games and blu-ray movies will look the best possible. If the room can take it, consider a 32" 1080p set.

Answer 2

I personally would not choose either I would go to a 37" Vizio.  I have one and people who have samsung, Sharp, Sony, and other big name brands cant get over how much better my picture is then theres.  I have had if for a 1.5 years and I cant wait to get the 42"

Answer 3

The two top 26" LCDs, for BOTH performance and reliability, are Panasonic and Sony, NOT Samsung. But it's your money - lol. Based on only the 2 you asked about, it's Sony, hands down.

Answer 4

well it is a SONY Playstation 3 so dont you think it would be nicer on one of its own brands?

Answer 5

Do not buy Samsung!!  I am not happy with them!!  I have a 42 inch HDTV DLP TV that I bought.....after 1.2 years (warranty was up after 1 year and I did not buy the extended warranty)....it went out...they told me to fix it would cost between 400-700 for the part, 245 for the labor, etc!!!  Crazy!!  I can buy the tv for that much now!  I have sent letters and called back and no one has been helpful!  If you read online....I have heard a lot of complaints about Samsung TV's.  Go with Sony!!  Don't forget to get an extended warranty too!  It is well worth it!!
