Sony Verus Samsung HDTV

This article really helped me. I was so undecided to which TV I wanted to purchase. I wanted a Sony because I heard such good things about it, but I was limited on cash. In addition, I was a bit afraid to purchase a Samsung because I read bad reviews from customers that even seemed down right pe'od with their Samsung.
After checking different stores to find a good deal I was off to sears. I already knew which Sony I wanted, and though I felt it was a bit pricey I wanted a 46", 120Hz, for $1199.00 the sale price.
But, I couldn't help but notice there right in across from the Sony a 46" 120Hz Samsung, the sale price $800.00. It was a floor sample but came with all the same warranties and $300.00 plus tax less. Well needless to say I went against my instinct and purchased the Samsung.
At first I did not like the coloring at all, and because I was determine to find something else wrong with it so I could take it back, I watched it very closely because it wasn't a Sony you see.
I was ready to take it back the very next day, and get my Sony. Well I begin playing with the menu on the remote and adjusted the color and too my surprise what a difference that made.
All of a sudden every one looked their correct natural color and the grass was the correct shade of green and the sky was blue, and everything fell into place. So I decided to keep the Samsung for now.
I am still a bit afraid because of the reviews. Nevertheless I have 14 more days to exchange it without a hassle so if it is going to mess up I hope it does it in that time. In the mean time I am pleased with my purchase and I certainly love the price.
If I have to take it back and get my Sony after all, I will be back to let you know why.
Thanks for allowing me to share my experience.
