There will be 3-4 (or more) updated models of the tv you will end up buying out within a year. But yours won't be out of date as such, just not as good as. Shouldn't stop you buying though and I'd go for the Sammy (as I've got one).

Id spend the money on a projector and screen for your movies and stick with a CRT tv for normal viewing unless of course you have sky HD and a PS3 otherwise if you have VM tv there isnt enough content and still on all the tvs ive seen SD broadcasts look crap

Yeah I'd love a projector but sometimes they just ain't practical. I use my LCD for tv out (x264's), and use as a good 2nd monitor, the 360, good dvd playback with a half decent (and cheap) upscaling player.

You're right about the quality of everyday tv though, but a 32" model ain't that bad, and as long as it's a digital signal.

Also the Sony Bravia KDL32S2510U ain't a bad model either and in the same price range as the Samsung. (Going by reviews).

The one thing I don't like on some of the newer Sammys is the quality of the sound. The bdx74 model had the worse sound ever. So an AV or something can compensate for that.

I love my Sony Bravia for the PS3 and V+, colours crisp and picture clear. Really looks good when viewing a Blue Ray DVD.
