flat screen for the bedroom

[Sounds Good]

i am looking to get a flat screen for the master bed room, i am thinking 42" - 46" but the girlfriend is thinking bigger... anyhow i really like LG and Sammy's so which model do you guys recomend?

its going to be hooked to a sat/cable hdtv reciever, and dvd player... maybe eventually a blu ray... i dont think and plans for a 5.1 setup... maybe if i can talk her into it... hahaha (evil laugh... would that be considered GAF, girl friend acceptance factor)

its almost buy time... any input? i think i like the sammys but there are two differant models.. one with the circle button and the other thats smoother looking and the erie glowing power light(the one i like)... anyone know the differance between these two?

when I buy TV's ... I always go Sony. I tried a samsung because it was cheaper (70% the price of the sony) ... but now I regret it. the sony is just that much better. make sure to get the high end models btw, ones that say 2 megapixel (1080P) ...

I would definitely pick anything over LG at this point. I have been thoroughly unimpressed with LG engineering. But, that may just be me. For LCD, Sony and Sharp would be near the top of my list. Keep in mind... in the bedroom, and 'erie glowing power button' becomes an 'obnoxious, always on nightlight'

Case in point - I have a Samsung plasma in the bedroom, and the light that didn't seem so bad in the showroom, lit up my bedroom at night from floor to ceiling - no problem. I ended up having to cut electrical tape out in a circle shape and putting it around the darn power light! It isn't obnoxious anymore, but still very slightly visible... and the tape looks bad.

Moreso, the image isn't all that hot.

With a choice, go for something you will be happy with 5 or 7 or more years from now. 1080p almost is pointless unless you are putting it at the foot of your bed... but many LCDs are that resolution now and may be worth getting.
