Hello , glad to be here
After 3 days of extensive forum reading and price comparing , i find myself to be in a dillema as to which TV to buy
Im looking into CRT HDTVs since i think that LCD technology still has some years ahead of it to fully mature
In my country (greece) , i get the option of 3 CRT HDTV sets , two from Philips , and other from Samsung
Samsung is model WS32Z409 and the Philips is 32PW9551 / 32PW9520
All 3 sets have pretty much the same price tag , with the samsung being like 50 euro cheaper than the Philips ones
Reading the Z409 threads , ive seen that half the people are satisfied with their TV set , while others have the Geometry issue (which was either solved by replacing their tv or by tweaking with the service menu)
In the stores website , it says the product was added in their cataloges on 27/6/06 , so its prolly a newer non-faulty batch? Seems that most of the people having the geo issues ordered it on day one from a specific store , so maybe that particular batch was faulty? Some user posted an email from Samsung stating that the problem should be fixed on newer shipments
I havent seen many threads or reviews about the Philips models , so i dont really know if they are worth the extra money over the samsung (plus i dont have a good history with philips products)
Id like to see what people that own the sets mentioned above have to say , both the pros and cons of each model
Ill be using the Tv for watching DVDs , playing xbox360 and exporting video signal from my pc (has both DVI and component video output)
Edit: I rarely watch tv programs
Thanks in advance
