Samsung LN40A500 vs Toshiba 40RV525U, which LCD HDTV has the better overall quality?
Q: I recently got the Samsung and so far its trait looks good, but found the Toshiba to be $50 cheaper (on sale this week). Should I put in an appearance again the Samsung for the Toshiba?
Some of the differences I've noticed between them so far:
-The Samsung has a slightly faster response all together of 5ms vs Toshiba's 8ms
-The Toshiba has more inputs than the Samsung (one extra HDMI, one S-video, and one super composite). One of the Samsung's two component inputs can be used as a composite input.
-Samsung has personification-in-picture but with only one tuner, while the Toshiba doesn't have this feature at all.
