[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 3431627, member: 115"] I didn't notice any terribly big differences, except that the Philips is supposedly a little brighter. Then again, spec lists are generally written to make the product seem more impressive than it is. What you need to do is find a side-by-side comparison of the features... I'm not certain where you might find that online. Hopefully someone else is more up on things than I am. A big thing is simply that one is by Samsung, and one is by Philips. The Samsung set is likely a lot more reliable than the Philips set. When it comes to televisions, Philips is definitely near the bottom end of the high tier for TV quality. Also, based on my anecdotal experience from selling electronics (a few years ago), customers had a lot more problems with Philips stuff breaking down. I had heard it was because of some poor quality capacitors, but that may have been fixed by now. I wouldn't know personally, because I haven't ever bought a Philips television. If you can, I [i]highly[/i] recommend visiting any stores in your area that sell plasmas and actually look at the two televisions in person. I also recommend looking in a number of different stores, because they will likely be shown in a number of different environments. It'll give you a good idea of what to expect and how to set it up. This is especially true since your eyesight is poor, and you'll be sitting closer to the TV. You may want to give [URL=http://www.newegg.com]Newegg[/URL] a look. I've never bought cameras from them, but they have a rock solid reputation for computer components and every time I've had to deal with customer service they've been extremely helpful and prompt. If I were to buy expensive electronics online, they're the ones I would trust. [/QUOTE]
