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

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!

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

Reply:Yeah thanks I went for the sony


But they had a special deal so i got the 32" in the end!

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