Question is pretty much the title.

I am having trouble deciding on which one, my previous Sammy broke. But I had the futureshop extended warranty and they reimbursed me for the cost of the TV. I will be buying it from the Brick with a 4-year Extended Warranty for an extra $500. I can get the Sony with a free stand, but I already have the stand from my old Sammy 50" DLP. I like the fact that the Sammy has 1080P component inputs, and has an extra HDMI port. Unfortunately, I do not have the option of checking these sets out in person. As always, your opinions are greatly appreciated, and I will probably be purchasing one tomorrow. Currently, I am leaning towards the Sammy, but not by much.

    I didn't go Samsung again either, I went Toshiba....I have heard great things about the Samsung LCDs, but I will never own a DLP from them again...It's a shame they have so many problems, they look sexy as hell....
