Looking for a '32 inch TV for gaming and watching TV.....

The Cudakid picked out the Samsung LNS3241D model--->

Then someone told me today that the Dell TV is the way to go???? This is the one I found that seems similar-----> http://accessories.dell.com/sna/productdet...mp;sku=222-4377



If anyone can tell me which is better for the kids needs or maybe one that I missed please let me know. I almost bought the Samsung today...but thought I should probably get some feedback from the pros.

Did some reading on these. They both have an 8ms response time which is decent for pc gaming. They both have an integrated HDTV tuner for off-the-air HDTV broadcasts.

The Dell has more input options, even has inputs on the side of it for component in and audio. The Samsung only has inputs on the back, so if you need to swap up stuff, you'll have to be getting behind it.

The Samsung has the better contrast ratio (Dell 1200:1, Samsung 3000:1.) Brightness is the same for both 500 cd/m2).

The Dell has better speakers (Dell 30 watts total, Samsung 20 watts total).

The Samsung weighs way less (Dell 44.7 pounds, Samsung 30 pounds).

Each of these have 2 different ways to hook up a pc. They both have one good old VGA input. Then the Samsung has 2 HDMI inputs, whereas the Dell has 1 HDMI input -- but if you're going to hook up your pc's video card DVI input to one of these, you'll need a DVI to HDMI converter cable, so don't forget to pick one up if you don't already have one.

Personally, from looking at the specs, I'd be happy with either one, would probably go with whichever was cheapest at the time. Especially if I couldn't see them running side by side with the same demo. (BTW, I agree with everything Genocide said!)
