EDIT
Hey guys,
I've done as much review reading as I could to come down to these 2 sets. I need a bedroom TV and a monitor for my desktop to do some CAD work and maybe learn other design apps.
Since I've money and space constraints I need something that'll do both for the time being, the Sony ex400 and Samsung C530 get the best reviews everywhere in this class but because they're budget I can't get much data on how they might do as monitors. All I know is about input lag but I won't be gaming much, or at all if I have no time. What I care about most is if either set displays PC signals properly, I've seen HDTVtest do line tests to determine if it's mapping pixels right but they only seem to do that data for more expensive sets.
Also, I've seen 4:4:4 tested though I'm not sure how that affects the display but I did notice one of my laptops has an ATI card that lets you change output between 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 so maybe it's not something to worry about?
At this point I don't know what to choose so I lean towards Sony, only because everything Samsung seems to die in 6-12mths on me, then when you call in they try and tell you it's your fault it broke lol
