Samsung le40a656 vs le37a656

Hi there guys, a sob story this one - and a warning to ALL trading on amazon. I had my heart set on a gorgeous le40a656 for £480 on amazon marketplace, only to weeks later on find out he was going to scam me!! ONLY EVER PAY BY CARD PEOPLE!!

Anyway, my dreams almost shattered i'm now trying to decide more realistically between the 656 series 40", 37" and also the le40b530. I am on a budget but willing to save/spend if the features are worth it. After MUCH MUCH looking i'm STILL so confused, so many threads on the 656 series!! so PLEASE help.


from what i gather so far...
40a656 has everything. 100hz, 50k:1 contrast, ultra clear panel.
+Has AMAZING reviews.

37a656 has 100hz, but only 15k:1 contrast and no ultra clear panel.
+is £100 cheaper +37" fits better into my room

leb530 has no 100hz or Ultra Clear Panel, but has 50k:1 contrast.
+is £120 cheaper


I really am terrible when it comes to budget guys... i see ones got something extra, and i want it... got dam material world we live in!!
I am going to be using the tv mainly for xbox360 and PC gaming, as well as blu-rays, so 100hz is probs worth the money right?
My tiny cottage bedroom is only lit by a ceiling light, so will the "ultra clear panel" make a difference to me?

Will there be any difference in picture quality from 15k:1 to 50k:1?? has anyone used/seen both these sets in action??

Thanks in advance for the replies!!
