They're hit or miss like any TV but if they break down after warranty expires you may be out of luck. Those cheaper brands usually buy parts in bulk and those parts may not be available after a while (unlike major brands which usually have an excess amount of spare parts).
Just go with a 40" Toshiba, Panasonic or Sharp. Samsung makes great TV's but you're usually paying a premium for the brand name. Go 120hz (only use it for sports and gaming as it makes movies and shows look like they're filmed with a handheld) and LED. I think all TV's are 1080p nowadays however there isn't much difference between the 2.
Edit: Oh and since you're considering plasmas, as long as you don't use it as a computer monitor then that's the best option. The technology has come a long way and offers much better picture quality than LCD. Just don't bother with 3D TV's. Serious waste of money on a stupid gimmick. |

No...why would I have a Wii? I'm past the days of buying a console just so I can play 1 or 2 exclusives on it. I'm going to be buying a PS3 at the same time as the TV. Yes I held out on one of those as well but with Dark Souls having just come out and the new Ace Combat not far off, I just have to get one. Plus there's Uncharted 3 and Skyrim that will come out soon. |

| Make sure it's got 1240p at 840 Hz. Tell the salesman this is exactly what you're looking for. When he tries to explain to you that such a television doesn't exist, call him a ing idiot and ask to speak to his manager. |

| Korean is the way to go. Samsung or LG. Sony is overpriced and I heard Keyshawn Johnson owns a Panasonic. |
