Decisions…decisions…decisions. I’m not the type to make big purchases without doing my research, then doing more research. Well after the “more” research I have decided against the 2 choices I had on last week’s Tech Thursday.

Now I am confident that the two choices below are the ones that I want. I’ll state their specs and add a poll at the end.

HDTV #1

SAMSUNG 32-inch LCD TV LN32A550P1

Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution

Proton 37-inch LCD TV 37-TF68P

Proton’s panels are made by Hitachi

As you can see somethings are better than others. While Samsung is a brand most people know of and has some better features, the Proton is bigger and about $5000NT($165USD) cheaper. I’m no expert, so I need some votes to sway me. Hopefully very soon, since my PS3 demands a sacrifice. Voting ends this Friday (07/04). Also remember this is for a small room, and I’ll be sitting about 1-1.5 meters(about 6 feet) away.

Which To Buy?
