Which would you buy?
Trying to decide between two tvs. I'm looking to set up a nice bedroom home theater system/game system and have all the parts except the tv. I have narrowed my list down to a Toshiba RPTV (50HDX82) or a samsung Plasma SPN4235. I can't decide so I'm asking you which one would you buy? The tv will get lots of game use (XBOX and PS2) as well as DVD use. Regular cable use won't be as much but I do like to watch the morning news when getting ready for work. Both of the sets are top quality so this is really a decision on which type of tv fits my needs better. Both have their pros and cons and actually come out about even, thus I can't decide. Obviously I can't buy both. Thanks
Toshiba Pros:
-No burn in worries at all (Games, regular 4:3 tv shows, etc.)
-great picture
-tons of inputs
-cheap (about $1500 cheaper)
Toshiba Cons:
-Big (relative to the plasma)
-Poor viewing angle (realative to the plasma)
Samsung Pros:
-Tiny (relative to the RPTV)
-Awesome picture from anywhere in the room
Samsung Cons:
-Burn in (especially with games and regular 4:3 tv...my buddies and I will have epic Madden 2003 games)
-Expensive (relative to the RPTV)
-Fragile
As you can see, it's about even. Thanks

Look at a Samsung 50" Widescreen DLP-Projection HDTV Monitor. Model: HLN5065W. What an incredible set!
